UNSPSC 85573606 Extirpation of matter from right pleura, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and healthcare administrative services state and local governments are currently procuring. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and clinical staffing delivery, none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical procedure. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices and pension boards, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, along with Texas.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual purchasing activity. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories through a qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume. Collier County issued an RFP (RFP 25-8414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million and a deadline of April 9, 2026 (already passed as of the current date of October 20, 2026). This code shows minimal relevance to current procurement opportunity scope; vendors should verify code assignment on specific opportunities before pursuing.
