This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85702853 Drainage of right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code tagged to state and local opportunities that do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures. The recent solicitations posted under this code are medical administration and staffing services — independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/inpatient care coordination for youth in custody. State and local governments are using this code to procure administrative medical services, benefits management, staffing coordination, and care arrangement services rather than actual surgical drainage procedures. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county boards of commissioners, indicating the code is functioning as a catch-all tag for medical service administration across diverse public jurisdictions.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington State, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations statewide, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no alignment with its nominal surgical scope; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or administrative consolidation of medical services under a single UNSPSC tag.
