UNSPSC 85673436 Drainage of right elbow bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities posted under this code are for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or a misalignment between the UNSPSC code's intended scope and current purchasing practice in the accessible records.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, county juvenile justice agencies, and county procurement services divisions across multiple states. Recent opportunities span Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefits and County of Santa Clara health professional staffing), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations with physician-led occupational health examinations), the City of Phoenix's disability medical record summary and evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), and the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive arrangement with no guaranteed volume). Given the disconnect between the code's orthopedic surgical definition and the health-services-administration work actually being solicited, firms should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this Commodity code.
