UNSPSC 85761859 Removal of other device from right pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's literal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broader mix of occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly concern thoracic device removal. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation agencies, indicating fragmented demand across different types of local health administration. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may be tagged inconsistently within state and local procurement systems, or the code's use at these jurisdictions reflects administrative classification decisions that do not track the code's formal definition.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity appears concentrated in the Pacific and Southwest regions, with additional opportunity in Florida. Given the code's nominal scope and the nature of the opportunities actually being posted, pursuit under this code warrants verification that the work aligns with your firm's service lines and that the code is correctly tagged in each issuing body's notice.
