UNSPSC 85722728 Drainage of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic joint drainage procedures. The mismatch signals a tagging or coding error in the source data rather than legitimate procurement activity aligned with the code's clinical scope. State and local bodies are instead using this code designation to solicit broad health services administration, staffing, and benefit management contracts.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county personnel and human resources offices (Collier County), city retirement boards (Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipalities (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities show activity in Arizona (Phoenix pension medical evaluations), Florida (Collier County pharmacy management), California (Santa Clara health staffing), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), Washington (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), and California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out). Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no substantive alignment with the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes and warrants recategorization or code correction at the source.
