UNSPSC 85573603 Extirpation of matter from left diaphragm, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical taxonomy bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities sourced to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific percutaneous diaphragmatic procedure. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of health benefits administration, occupational safety compliance, and detention-facility medical care.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professionals across 13 clinical ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows misalignment between its clinical name and actual purchasing activity, suggesting either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code is being used as a catch-all for diverse medical services without specificity to the stated procedure.
