UNSPSC 85712169 Removal of drainage device from left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are fundamentally administrative or employment-benefit services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears misapplied to these solicitations by issuing bodies or their procurement systems.

State and local governments posting under this code in the recent record include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code's current procurement activity does not reflect the orthopedic surgical scope embedded in its name, suggesting either a systematic coding error across multiple jurisdictions or that this particular Commodity code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local contracting.
