UNSPSC 85721228 (Removal of drainage device from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect health-plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device removal. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the surgical services it nominally describes.

Recent solicitations posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county benefits administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing, with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations align with the code's stated commodity description.
