UNSPSC 85683358 Drainage of right temporal bone with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose abstract procedural name bears no meaningful connection to the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or any otologic surgical intervention. This appears to reflect a systematic mismatch between the code assignment in the source material and the actual work being solicited; the code sees no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county commissioners and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spend (due April 9, 2026). No active procurement under this code aligns with the procedural terminology of the UNSPSC category itself.
