UNSPSC 85762258 Removal of drainage device from left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity captured under it. Recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit administration — none of which involve pleural drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic techniques. The code appears to be a medical procedure classifier that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader health services solicitations, creating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought. The issuing bodies include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), and municipalities (Long Beach), reflecting the diversity of healthcare-adjacent purchasing across jurisdictions.

Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas based on recent posts. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code's application to these opportunities suggests systematic miscoding rather than legitimate medical procedure procurement, signaling limited relevance for vendors in the pleural drainage device or percutaneous endoscopic service space.
