UNSPSC 85631136 Removal of drainage device from skin, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments are not actively soliciting under in recent procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the medical and health services actually being procured by state and local issuers. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefits management through Centers of Excellence (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve the removal of drainage devices from skin or align with the procedure-specific nature of the code.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington DOT), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and municipal retirement and procurement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Activity is geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the scope of actual procurement activity — all of which involve health services administration, staffing, benefit management, or medical evaluation rather than a discrete surgical procedure — suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity for business development purposes. Firms evaluating opportunities in health services procurement should track the broader Family or Segment codes under which these health services typically roll, rather than rely on this Commodity code's tagging.
