UNSPSC 85713840 Removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code are actually procuring administrative medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the surgical procedure the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and current procurement practice in this jurisdiction set. No state and local government appears to be soliciting removal of drainage devices or related orthopedic surgical services under this code.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set include city and county human resources departments, transit agencies, and county health systems procuring medical administration and staffing support across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of the opportunities describe procurement of orthopedic surgical devices, implants, or related procedural supplies that would logically fall under the code's stated scope.
