UNSPSC 85621261 Drainage of right carotid body with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but it shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit surgical intervention or medical devices aligned with that description. Instead, jurisdictions are posting RFPs and RFQs for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which match the procedural specificity of carotid body drainage. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), indicating broad governmental reach across administrative health and benefits functions rather than clinical surgical procurement.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington State, California (Santa Clara and Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), demonstrating activity across multiple regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026 with no guaranteed work volume; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code captures administrative healthcare procurement rather than clinical procedures, making activity tracking under this code unreliable for business development targeting.
