UNSPSC 85762023 Revision of radioactive element in right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical-procedure scope that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local government buying activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations show that this code is being misapplied to cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve radiological or percutaneous procedures. The actual work state and local governments are buying under this code includes independent medical record review and disability benefit examinations for public safety retirement systems; occupational health screening for transportation workers; emergency and specialty medical care for detained juveniles; pharmacy claims administration and formulary management; and temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary health categories. Issuing bodies span state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city pension boards (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach).

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific regions. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, though that posting's due date of April 9, 2026 appears historical. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 as a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume. Code assignment appears systematically misaligned with procurement intent; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should verify actual scope with issuing bodies before committing resources to response.
