UNSPSC 85712445 Removal of drainage device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions. The work being bought ranges from comprehensive disability medical record review and independent medical examinations for public safety pension eligibility determinations, to occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, to network management and specialty care coordination for municipal employee surgical procedures.

Issuing bodies appear across multiple states and jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The most substantive recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and options to extend through year seven; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code's recent activity does not reflect the orthopedic surgical procedure naming suggests it should capture.
