UNSPSC 85563247 Drainage of nasopharynx, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a discrete otorhinolaryngological procedure—does not match the scope of work appearing in current solicitations tagged to this code.

Recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and clinical staffing services rather than the nasopharyngeal drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (September 2026, RFP, due October 16) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (August 2026, RFP, due October 7) is requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit manager for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation (August 2026, RFP, due October 9) is seeking occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (August 2026, RFI, due September 25) posted a request for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody; Collier County (August 2026, RFP, due April 9) issued a pharmacy benefit management RFP; and Santa Clara County Health System (July 2026, RFP, due October 7) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations procures or references nasopharyngeal drainage procedures or related supplies. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch and shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
