This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from upper bone, open approach.

UNSPSC 85691104 Removal of drainage device from upper bone, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with surgical medical services. The opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive inmate healthcare delivery, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer mental health support, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or drainage-device removal. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed as a catchall for broad healthcare contracting; the actual work being solicited is healthcare administration, medical staffing, and care-delivery services rather than the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies are a mix of county governments and municipal fire departments across Florida and Georgia, with no school districts, transit authorities, or state departments represented in the recent postings. The Columbus Consolidated Government is procuring inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison with an RFP due May 15, 2026, under contract terms of two years plus three optional one-year renewals; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical pharmacy spending around $8.7 million annually; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services due April 16, 2026, serving approximately 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health posted an RFP for a Mental Health Services Act peer-support pilot due July 2, 2025, with $580,000 in total funding; and the Santa Monica Fire Department posted an RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director due October 16, 2025. The geographic spread includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), California (San Mateo County), and no clear pattern of concentrated activity. Given the procedural mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope, this code presents minimal relevance to orthopedic or surgical device vendors and warrants verification before pursuit.
