UNSPSC 85673550 Drainage of left elbow bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The code's nominal description refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not procure surgical procedures or medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing services. These solicitations span health-care administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than orthopedic surgical supplies or procedural equipment, suggesting a systematic mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being bought.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, term two years with options to extend through five additional one-year periods), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027). State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC assignment with the relevant issuing office before investing in pursuit, as the code's medical-device focus does not align with current solicitation activity.
