UNSPSC 85721239 Removal of infusion device from right tarsal joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical descriptor does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are actually soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety disability benefits, specialty surgical carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies, or the opportunities are miscoded in the source system. State and local governments do solicit medical and clinical services at scale, but the specific clinical procedure named in this code does not appear in recent contract activity.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county health systems, county benefits and procurement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice departments, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for its PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-pool RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but no established connection to the procedure it nominally describes.
