UNSPSC 85783021 Removal of drainage device from left lower extremity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose scope nominal to this specific surgical procedure. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect drainage-device removal procurement; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits for public-sector employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. State and local issuers tagging opportunities under this code are using it as a catch-all medical-services category rather than a narrow procedural code, resulting in a fundamental mismatch between the code's meaning and what procurement offices are actually buying.

The issuing bodies posting under this code represent a diverse public-sector mix: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focused on disability medical record review and physician examination scheduling for public-safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive staffing qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professionals (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Buyers seeking actual drainage-device removal services or narrowly related orthopedic procedural procurement should not rely on this code as a reliable discovery or bidding mechanism.
