This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of destructive agent into pleural cavity, percutaneous approach. This administrative intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 3E0L3TZ

UNSPSC 85811516 Introduction of destructive agent into pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific invasive medical procedure (pleurodesis via pleural injection), yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with this scope; instead, they encompass a broad range of healthcare service delivery, program administration, and workforce support services that fall well outside the narrow procedural classification the code implies.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span health authorities (Nevada Health Authority), county health systems (Santa Clara, DeKalb County, Brevard County), independent school districts, fire departments, county sheriffs' offices, and special-purpose districts. Recent activity shows episodic solicitation for virtual urgent care (Inland Empire Health Plan, California), comprehensive health worker recruitment and retention (Nevada PACE operations), occupational health screening and occupational medical directorships (Cobb County, Sarasota County, Seminole County, Florida), EMS revenue billing and medical evaluation services (Atlanta Fire, City of Phoenix), and behavioral health crisis stabilization and recovery programming (Ventura County, Fairfax County, Sedgwick County and Wichita, Kansas, funded by opioid settlement proceeds). Geographic concentration appears diffuse across California, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and multiple other states, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a standout repeat buyer under this code. Representative recent solicitations include the Nevada Health Authority's RFP for PACE operations (proposals due December 10, 2026, serving seniors 55 and older across Nevada under capitated Medicaid rates), the City of Phoenix's RFP for cancer screening services for 14,000 city employees commencing July 1, 2027 (proposals due February 2, 2026, with maximum annual value of $3.5 million), and Ventura County's RFP for 24-hour Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit operations in Oxnard (proposals due September 10, 2026). The code's misalignment with actual recent procurements signals either systematic miscoding at the point of solicitation posting or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare service categories outside traditional taxonomy placement, and does not represent a meaningful purchasing pattern.
