UNSPSC 85581622 Drainage of pharynx with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific medical procedure, but state and local governments show no recent procurement activity aligned with this clinical intervention. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect instead a broad range of health plan administration, occupational health services, medical staffing, and pension disability evaluations—none of which involve pharyngeal drainage procedures or percutaneous medical devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly in these solicitations. Recent opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration (City of Long Beach, RFP, October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI, September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management across multiple counties, and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System, October 7, 2026). No solicitation in the dataset references drainage procedures, percutaneous devices, pharyngeal intervention, or any procedure-specific medical equipment or supplies. This code shows little relevant recent activity for medical device or procedure-related procurement under its stated taxonomy heading.
