UNSPSC 85762134 Extirpation of matter from right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical and healthcare services state and local governments are soliciting under this code identifier. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure coordination, emergency and inpatient youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pleural cavity procedures. The tagging appears to be a classification error in the source systems; the code nominally describes a surgical procedure but state and local procurement offices are using it to index operational healthcare contracting and employee health benefit administration.

State and local issuing bodies across this code include county boards of commissioners, health departments and hospital systems, retirement offices, transportation departments, and county probation agencies. Recent opportunities originated from Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit coordination), Harris County Juvenile Probation, the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical evaluations), and the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance). Geographic representation spans Florida, California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 (independent medical evaluation services for disability applications, due October 16, 2026, contract value $750,000 over five years), WSDOT RFP 20260825 (occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County RFP 25-8414 (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, due April 9, 2026, with historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual work being procured signals either a systematic coding issue in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services unrelated to its stated scope.
