UNSPSC 85671534 Drainage of left lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures or orthopedic surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data classification error upstream.

State and local buyers using this code include municipal retirement offices, cities managing employee health benefits, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with posting dates concentrated in July through September 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations align with the code's stated scope, suggesting that pursuit should focus on the actual service categories being solicited rather than the code definition itself.
