UNSPSC 85712285 Drainage of right shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification but does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect state and local government purchasing of occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describes a surgical drainage procedure or orthopedic clinical services. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and public health systems; examples include the Washington State Department of Transportation (requesting occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out administration), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing).

The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across the recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering ferry-system employees across 14 Washington locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, for 75 annual disability-benefit applications, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026, for a voluntary program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 active employees and retirees). The code shows little activity that directly matches its nominal scope as a clinical orthopedic procedure line item.
