This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left pleura with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85573861 Drainage of left pleura with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with pleural drainage devices or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The opportunities reflect medical services contracting and health plan administration rather than procurement of a medical device or procedure-specific implant or equipment.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident from the recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (RFP RTMRFP26001), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 (RFP20260825), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code assignment appears to reflect a data-tagging mismatch rather than actual procurement of pleural drainage devices or related procedures; state and local buyers under this code are pursuing health services contracting, not medical device procurement.
