UNSPSC 85621172 Drainage of para-aortic body with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations under this code do not involve surgical drainage procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure description.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this misclassified code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative misaligned opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a data error or miscategorization; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing these opportunities.
