UNSPSC 85572016 Drainage of right main bronchus with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy label does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations in this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities reflect administrative health-care purchasing, benefits program management, and clinical staffing — none of which involve bronchial drainage procedures or surgical instrumentation. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health-care service procurement despite its specificity to a discrete surgical intervention.

Activity spans multiple issuing-body types: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee-benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county HR and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no dominant regional concentration evident in recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026 (IFB); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows active but scattered state and local purchasing activity with no clear single product or service line — vendors pursuing work here should treat this code as a secondary match and verify actual scope alignment with each posting before pursuing.
