UNSPSC 85541961 Drainage of cisterna chyli, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification in recent procurements. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures or endoscopic interventions. The code appears to describe a specific clinical procedure rather than a service category that state and local employers regularly procure, creating a significant mismatch between the code's narrow procedural name and the broad health services and benefits administration work actually being bought under it in the market.

Recent activity shows purchasing from state transportation agencies, county health systems, county pension boards, and cities. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations at $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. This code shows low relevance to the actual state and local contracting activity supporting it; vendors pursuing opportunities under this classification should treat the code designation as unreliable and rely instead on individual RFP review and direct customer outreach.
