UNSPSC 85762144 Drainage of right pleural cavity with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reveal a significant mismatch between the code's clinical scope and actual purchasing activity. The opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical procedure carve-out management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and healthcare services for detained youth — none of which involve pleural cavity drainage or the specific procedure the code nominates. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and independent school district health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural definition; the tagging appears to reflect a broad healthcare services classification rather than the specialized surgical intervention the code describes.

Geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT ferries operations across 14 locations), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry worker populations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work). The code does not appear to be a reliable vehicle for pursuing work within its nominal surgical specialty; business development professionals should verify actual code assignment during RFP review or contact issuing procurement offices directly for clarification.
