UNSPSC 85663442 Drainage of left hand tendon with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code show no purchasing activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the surgical drainage procedure the code describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a divergence between the code's technical definition and how procurement systems are applying the taxonomy.

The opportunities that do appear under this code come from state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach) across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Because the code shows no recent activity purchasing the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes, prospective bidders should verify coding accuracy with individual issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy.
