UNSPSC 85573429 Drainage of left diaphragm, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical drainage procedures or match the code's nominal clinical scope. The code appears to have been applied to general health services solicitations by state and local procurement offices without regard to its specific surgical meaning, signaling either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are tagged or a fundamental mismatch between the code's definition and the work actually being bought under it.

State and local buyers pursuing health and human services contracts — primarily county health departments, county commissioners, and special-purpose health districts — are using this code designation in ways that bear no connection to the procedure named. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California jurisdictions and were posted between February and April 2026, but none represent actual demand for the specific surgical service the code describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before responding to opportunities tagged under it.
