UNSPSC 85722910 Removal of drainage device from left ankle joint, external approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal substantive alignment to its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect drainage-device removal services; instead, they span medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit program management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, but the work being solicited reflects broader health-care contracting and staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings from August through October 2026. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) covering disability medical record summary and examination coordination for public safety pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026, multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated clinical procedure; procurement professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities in this category.
