UNSPSC 85563521 Drainage of nasopharynx with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations assigned to this code cover occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures or percutaneous nasopharyngeal intervention. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to administrative and operational health services procurement.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach).
