UNSPSC 85761807 Revision of drainage device in pericardial cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's technical name references a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve pericardial drainage procedures or open surgical revision at all. Instead, state and local buyers are using this code to tag procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, health plan benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty hospital services — none of which align with the code's stated surgical commodity. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems and human resources departments (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county health departments (Harris County), and county procurement offices (Collier County).

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas across recent postings. Representative recent opportunities show continued activity across this broad scope: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (due October 7, 2026, anticipated contract execution April 2027); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, estimated annual spend $8.7 million). This code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy tag for health services procurement rather than a precision indicator of the specific pericardial procedure the commodity name describes, signaling either systematic tagging error or institutional divergence between code intent and procurement practice.
