This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85723814, Removal of drainage device from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve ankle joint drainage device removal or orthopedic procedural work. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or serves as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit standard UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies using this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with representatives spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking disability record summaries and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks managing knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures. Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of orthopedic procedural procurement in these recent records, the code shows little relevant activity for firms offering ankle joint drainage device removal services.
