UNSPSC 85761746 Removal of infusion device from left pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code whose recent activity shows no alignment with state and local government procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and specialty surgery networks — none of which involves the procedure named in the code title. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have tagged solicitations to this code, but their actual work scopes do not involve infusion device removal. This suggests a cataloging mismatch in the issuing bodies' procurement systems rather than legitimate demand for the procedure under this code.

No relevant recent opportunities exist for this Commodity code. State and local procurement activity tagged to it describes services wholly outside the scope of a pleural infusion device removal procedure — disability medical record summaries, surgical center-of-excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, inpatient and emergency services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. Vendors pursuing work in this code should clarify the actual commodity or service category with the issuing body before investment in proposal development, as the code appears to be misapplied across multiple recent solicitations.
