UNSPSC 85653437 Drainage of right lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these services directly correspond to orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating that the code is being applied broadly across different issuing-body types without consistent focus.

Recent opportunities show geographic activity in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, though the code's application appears inconsistent rather than concentrated. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational health services actually being procured suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all for health-related procurement activity outside its intended scope. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify the specific health service or administrative capability being solicited rather than assume alignment with the code's nominal surgical procedure description.
