UNSPSC 85661241 Drainage of right trunk tendon, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local government opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually procuring occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans — none of which involve orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all for health services contracting that does not fit the surgical taxonomy. State and local bodies issuing under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and municipal human resources divisions.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs serving 3,800 employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in benefits administration, occupational health, and temporary staffing rather than surgical interventions, indicating misalignment between the code's name and actual procurement patterns.
