UNSPSC 85802503 Removal of mouth and pharynx packing material is a Commodity code that spans specialized nursing and clinical support services for medically complex populations in school, correctional, healthcare, and public health settings. State and local governments buy nursing staffing for ventilator and tracheostomy care, dialysis services, laboratory and phlebotomy support, occupational health screening, drug testing, and sample analysis under this code—work that requires licensure, specialized training, and regulatory compliance (CLIA, HIPAA, DOT, NFPA standards). Issuing bodies include school districts, county departments of corrections, county health systems, state departments of human services, and state health agencies; the recent opportunities show Hillsborough County Public Schools, Escambia County Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Nevada Purchasing Division as repeat buyers. The work spans nursing personnel placement (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Emergency Medical Technicians), laboratory services (clinical testing, phlebotomy, specimen analysis, lead sample analysis), occupational health (pre-employment physicals, DOT medical exams, fitness-for-duty evaluations, drug and alcohol testing), and specialized medical services (dialysis, blood products, histology).
