UNSPSC 85583368 Drainage of epiglottis with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgery carve-outs for municipal employees, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve epiglottis drainage or related surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source opportunities or a structural misalignment between the code taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices tag health-services solicitations.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit medical record summarization and exam coordination for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's stated scope and the actual procurements appearing under it, business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing agency before pursuing opportunities listed here.
