UNSPSC 85765128 Removal of drainage device from peritoneal cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not involve peritoneal drainage device removal or percutaneous approaches to peritoneal cavity intervention. Instead, the solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated medical procedure description. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the work actually being procured suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and the medical and health services being sought.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara)—and cover Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete recent solicitations are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027). Given the code's apparent misapplication to these opportunities, firms pursuing work in medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, or surgical benefit management should verify the actual UNSPSC code assignments in individual solicitations rather than rely on this code as a primary search signal.
