UNSPSC 85711914 Removal of drainage device from right wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span disability medical record summarization, Center of Excellence surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency and specialty medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of drainage devices from wrist joints. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to broader medical administration and staffing solicitations rather than used for its intended procedure-specific purpose.

The opportunities that do appear under this code involve diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misclassification across these opportunities, vendors should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this commodity code.
