This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right hand bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85673544 Drainage of right hand bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract procedural name does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities instead reflect healthcare administration and occupational health services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices and benefits administrations (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State), county health systems and juvenile probation departments (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county government HR and benefits divisions (Collier County). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (state-level ferries operations), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the healthcare-administration substance of recent opportunities suggests either tagging error or a significant divergence between the taxonomy and current procurement practice under this code.
