UNSPSC 85711046 Removal of drainage device from right acromioclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code that reflects a mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. Recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve removal of acromioclavicular joint drainage devices. The code appears to be used as a catch-all healthcare services taxonomy entry rather than a procedure-specific procurement vehicle. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting use across multiple jurisdictional tiers in health plan administration, occupational health, and emergency/specialty care procurement.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP 20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with proposer selection targeted for January–March 2027 and contract go-live April 1, 2027 (HR26753). The County of Santa Clara Health System is accepting proposals through October 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code shows no relevant recent activity tied to its nominal orthopedic procedure scope.
