UNSPSC 85721516 Removal of drainage device from right toe phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations captured under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not reflect the code's stated orthopedic surgical procedure. These opportunities instead span employee health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and public safety personnel benefit determination. State and local governments are using this code tag to solicit a broad range of healthcare administrative and occupational health services, not specialized surgical procedures on the toe joint.

The issuing bodies include county pension boards (City of Phoenix), large municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum and October 16, 2026 response deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and oncology Centers of Excellence network management with an October 7, 2026 deadline and anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with an October 9, 2026 response deadline and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The code's tagging appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than a signal of active procurement in the orthopedic surgical domain.
