UNSPSC 85781942 Drainage of right ankle region with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on the procurement or performance of that procedure. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of ankle drainage procedures. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a broader categorization that does not reflect actual procurement needs under the code as currently defined.

The issuing bodies across the sample include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal retirement boards (Phoenix). Geographic activity spans California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas in the recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants verification before pursuit strategy development.
