UNSPSC 85531127 Removal of drainage device from lower vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with vascular surgery. The source shows no actual solicitations for vascular surgical services or drainage device removal. Instead, the records indicate that issuing bodies have applied this code to health services contracts covering occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to have been assigned to general health administration and benefits management work rather than the surgical procedure its nomenclature describes.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services from licensed physicians across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out management through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem PPO plan with a response deadline of October 7, 2026; Collier County in Florida issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees with a three-year initial term and historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million; and Santa Clara County in California established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little decision relevance to actual vascular surgical procurement at the state and local level.
