UNSPSC 85762051 Removal of radioactive element from left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a mismatch between its nominal scope—a highly specialized radiological medical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve radiological interventions or removal of radioactive elements. Instead, they reflect procurement for occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations align with the code's stated clinical descriptor.

The issuing bodies include county health systems and departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employers (City of Long Beach). Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its procedural definition.
