UNSPSC 85703421 Drainage of left fibula, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal surgical procedure name that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities show no drainage or orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, the code tags a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation agencies, reflecting broad public-sector healthcare administration and workforce health functions. However, because the code name and recent solicitation activity are plainly misaligned, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing drainage or orthopedic surgical procedures.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to review disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFB for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to be a data classification error rather than a meaningful procurement signal for the stated surgical procedure.
