This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right carotid body with drainage device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85621176, Drainage of right carotid body with drainage device, open approach, is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not match the code's procedural scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve carotid body drainage or surgical devices. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its technical medical descriptor and actual procurement demand. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city procurement offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). No vendor names, set-asides, or repeat buyers emerge from the available opportunities.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona (City of Phoenix, RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, RFP for surgical benefit management due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System, RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; Collier County pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), Florida (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, responses due September 25, 2026), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP for occupational medical surveillance with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, due October 9, 2026). The apparent mismatch between code descriptor and actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code's scope in state and local procurement taxonomy diverges significantly from its technical definition. Pursue with caution pending clarification from the issuing bodies on their actual scope requirements.
