UNSPSC 85573419 Excision of right pleura, open approach is a Commodity code tagged to medical and surgical procedure terminology, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal clinical descriptor. The six most recent opportunities posted under 85573419 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, temporary health professional staffing services, pharmacy benefit management, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which describe surgical pleural excision. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to health services contracts that fall outside its stated procedural scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in surgical or operating-room services.

The opportunities are distributed across a mix of issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out programs), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity appears in California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona, but the transactions are health administration and staffing rather than surgical procedures. Without solicitation activity aligned to the pleural excision scope, this code carries minimal signal for surgical or operating-room contractors pursuing state and local opportunities.
