UNSPSC 85721728 Drainage of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities posted to the code—including independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—do not align with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The opportunities reflect benefits administration, occupational health compliance, youth detention healthcare, and clinical staffing services rather than the specific surgical intervention the code describes.

No state or local government solicitations under this code involve procurement of drainage devices, surgical supplies, or operative services for metatarsal-tarsal joint conditions. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to procurement notices that fall under health benefits contracting, occupational medicine, and healthcare staffing rather than orthopaedic medical devices or surgical services. Vendors evaluating pursuit decisions should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if opportunities in drainage devices or foot surgery supplies are of interest.
