This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in left tarsal joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85721856 Revision of drainage device in left tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the opportunities actually being solicited—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span broader administrative and clinical service categories with no connection to tarsal joint drainage device revision. State and local jurisdictions are tagging these opportunities with this code despite their substantive mismatch to the procedure name, suggesting either a cataloging error or deliberate but non-transparent classification. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County). This mix spans administrative, occupational health, behavioral health, and benefits management—not orthopedic procurement.

The code shows recent activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative 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 Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with up to five one-year extensions), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional renewals), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). The code exhibits little relevant recent activity and should not be pursued based on its nominal scope; vendors seeking healthcare or benefits administration work should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
