UNSPSC 85723450 Removal of drainage device from left hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical device removal or post-operative drainage management. The code's nominal scope appears medical-procedure-specific and clinical in nature, whereas the opportunities posted reflect administrative health benefit programs, occupational health compliance, and staffing procurement common to municipal and county government.

State and local sources show little relevant recent activity under this code. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual procurement posted suggests either miscoding at the source level or that the code does not reflect purchasing patterns in the state and local market. Pursuit under this code is not warranted based on the available evidence.
