UNSPSC 85831312 Pheresis of erythrocytes, single is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific blood collection and processing procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve erythrocyte pheresis or blood component collection. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems, reflecting a mix of administrative, operational, and health-sector procurement. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with no indication of concentrated activity in any single region.

The recent opportunities do not substantiate active procurement under this code for its stated commodity purpose. The Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; Long Beach solicited a surgical care carve-out benefit program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Ferries requested occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a temporary health professional staffing pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a data-classification mismatch; no bidder pursuing state and local contracts should treat this code as an active opportunity category for blood component services.
