UNSPSC 85811517 Introduction of other gas into pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no medical procedures matching the code's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities span virtual urgent care, medical directorships, occupational health screenings, cancer registries, psychological evaluations, behavioral health services, and comprehensive wellness platforms—none involving pleural cavity procedures or thoracic interventions. The code appears misapplied to these healthcare service procurements, and state and local buyers are not using it to solicit procedural medical services.

The recent-opportunities block reflects activity across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: California (Inland Empire Health Plan, San Mateo County Medical Center); Georgia (DeKalb County, Forsyth County, Cobb County); Nevada (Nevada Health Authority); Colorado (Department of Human Services); Texas (HHSC); Arizona (City of Phoenix); Florida (Sarasota County, Seminole County); Illinois (Secretary of State); Kansas (Sedgwick County with City of Wichita); California (Ventura County); New Jersey (Department of Health); New York (Rockland County); and cooperatives and consortiums (Sourcewell, H-GAC, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). The mix spans state departments, counties, cities, school districts, health plans, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose authorities. The geographic spread covers California, Georgia, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, New York, Kansas, and other states, indicating nationwide activity. Representative recent opportunities include Inland Empire Health Plan requesting virtual urgent care services (RFI, due October 31, 2026); Nevada Health Authority requesting PACE operations proposals (RFP, due December 10, 2026); San Mateo County requesting cancer registry and retinal screening device services (RFPs, due October 12 and November 6, 2026); and Fairfax County requesting psychological evaluation and testing services (RFP, due October 8, 2026). None of these solicitations involve procedural interventions coded under UNSPSC 85811517.
