UNSPSC 85673020 Drainage of left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—are all administrative healthcare procurement, workforce health management, or benefits administration services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or percutaneous drainage interventions. None represent actual purchases of the specific clinical service named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that this orthopedic procedure code either has been misapplied by the source system or sits outside the scope of routine state and local procurement activity. State and local bodies do not typically solicit individual surgical procedures by UNSPSC code; they purchase insurance coverage, managed care networks, pharmacy benefits, temporary clinical staffing, and occupational health administration. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local business development purposes and verify code assignments in real-time solicitations before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to it.
