UNSPSC 85573012, Drainage of right lung via natural or artificial opening drainage device, is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pulmonary drainage procedures or related clinical interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific clinical procedure) and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing jurisdictions or a data-taxonomy alignment issue that obscures the code's true market signal.

The recent opportunities come from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office in Arizona, the City of Long Beach in California, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and Santa Clara County Health System in California. The opportunities span RFP, RFI, and RFSQ notice types with response dates from September 2026 through April 2027. Given the absence of any actual pulmonary drainage procurement in the source material, this code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors in that clinical specialty. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local sourcing purposes and investigate whether a different UNSPSC classification more accurately captures their service or product line.
