UNSPSC 85761750 Removal of radioactive element from right pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal medical scope does not align with the actual work state and local buyers have recently solicited under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of radioactive material from pleural cavities. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that the code carries a different operational meaning in state and local systems than its clinical description implies.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span state departments, county health systems, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (for the ferries division), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration (due October 7, 2026). Without clarity on why procurement professionals are using this Commodity code for unrelated healthcare administration and staffing work, treating the code as an active procurement category is not recommended at this time.
