UNSPSC 85581340 Removal of drainage device from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code for surgical and medical procedure management services that state and local governments purchase through health benefits administration, occupational medicine programs, and public safety personnel benefit systems. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope; instead, they reflect procurement activity in employee health benefits management, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and occupational medical surveillance. The issuing bodies span county governments, cities, state departments, and regional health systems, with municipal retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county health systems all active in the recent opportunity set. Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County are the primary jurisdictions represented in the current activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring physician-supervised baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for four personnel categories; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows low relevance to the clinical procedure removal service it nominally describes and warrants further investigation into tagging accuracy or scope drift in state and local procurement systems.
