UNSPSC 85782313 Drainage of left knee region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopedic drainage of the knee under open surgical technique—yet the six recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit administrative and clinical services entirely unrelated to surgical drainage: independent medical evaluation and disability benefit determination (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical carve-out benefit program management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or knee drainage.

The mismatch between code and opportunity scope indicates either a data-entry error or an over-broad tagging practice by the issuing bodies. State and local procurement under this code shows no substantive recent activity in the surgical services domain that the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
