UNSPSC 85761769 Extirpation of matter from right pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect pleural cavity procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code does not capture state and local procurement activity in the medical procedure domain at scale.

The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington; the code shows no meaningful recent procurement signal for the specific pleural cavity procedure named in its taxonomy definition.
