UNSPSC 85724130, Removal of drainage device from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that appears in recent state and local procurement activity misaligned with its clinical description. The solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and government agencies (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and quasi-public pension boards. The geographic spread spans Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and proposals due October 16, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no cohesive category signal and likely reflects procurement taxonomy tagging errors rather than genuine activity in orthopedic surgical device removal contracting at the state and local level.
