UNSPSC 85572860, Removal of radioactive element from pleura via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of radioactive elements or pleural intervention. This pattern suggests the code was applied as a default or catch-all taxonomy marker rather than as a deliberate match to the work being solicited. State and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code represent diverse issuing bodies: city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County), and county benefits administration (Collier County).

Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity signals that this code does not represent a reliable or active procurement category for vendors in the state and local market.
