UNSPSC 85573535 Removal of radioactive element from pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities in the source block under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefits carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of radioactive elements from pleura or percutaneous radiological procedures. The code appears to describe a specific clinical intervention inconsistent with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions in the dataset.

State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code designation are not pursuing the medical procedure the code nominally names. A vendor evaluating this code should verify whether the tagging represents a data error or systematic miscoding of medical administration and staffing services, and should not assume purchasing volume or activity aligned with the code's clinical description.
