UNSPSC 85771208 Drainage of right elbow region with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure on the elbow—does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The six posted opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations address orthopedic drainage procedures or related device procurement. The issuing bodies are primarily counties and health systems—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara Health System—but the work they are buying lies entirely outside the code's stated scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Florida, Arizona, and Texas based on the recent postings, but this geographic signal is misleading because the opportunities themselves are unrelated to the code definition. The only opportunities with concrete response deadlines are the Phoenix independent medical evaluation services (October 16, 2026), Long Beach surgical benefit program (October 7, 2026), WSDOT occupational surveillance (October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing (October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's specific surgical scope and the broad healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either a systematic coding error in the source data or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement in its intended application.
