UNSPSC 85761748 Removal of drainage device from left pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted to this taxonomy entry, which span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices have tagged these diverse health-care administration, staffing, and medical-service-delivery contracts to this code, but none involve drainage device removal or the procedural clinical work the code name describes.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a municipal retirement board (City of Phoenix), a city government employer (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation pre-bid and RFP for occupational medical surveillance (pre-bid August 31, 2026; proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool RFP for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope; the opportunities reflect a taxonomy misclassification rather than true procedural drainage-device procurement.
