UNSPSC 85573536 Removal of drainage device from pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent procurement activity under state and local government. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it do not align with that scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve pleural drainage device removal. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health service procurement that does not fit the code's actual clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissioners' offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal government (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix), and regional transportation authorities. Recent opportunities span Washington State (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services, proposals due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP and Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing, both proposals due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County PBM services, proposals due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County RFI for youth detention medical services, due September 25, 2026). Given the code's clinical specificity does not match the actual solicitations, business development professionals should verify code alignment with individual opportunities before pursuing.
