UNSPSC 85713012, Removal of drainage device from left finger phalangeal joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope—none involve orthopedic or hand surgery drainage procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes; the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement system or opportunistic use of an available code number by issuing bodies without direct procedural procurement intent.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, IFB), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent disability medical evaluations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code as applied does not reflect actual procurement activity in hand surgery or orthopedic drainage procedures, pursuit under this code designation is not recommended without direct confirmation from the issuing body that the work aligns with your service offerings.
