UNSPSC 85724423 Removal of drainage device from left sacroiliac joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy do not align with that scope. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged administrative medical services — occupational surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — under this code, suggesting either miscategorization in source systems or use of the code as a catch-all for health-related procurements that do not fit neatly into existing taxonomies. None of the recent solicitations describe purchase of the orthopedic device removal service the code nominally names.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span state departments, county boards, and cities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026). This code warrants close inspection before pursuit; the mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests procurement teams may be using it incorrectly or the code itself may not serve this market segment effectively.
