UNSPSC 85492305 Extirpation of matter from conduction mechanism, open approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers medical evaluation, examination, and surveillance services delivered to public employees, retirees, and beneficiaries — not surgical or procedural intervention as the code name suggests. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention. The issuing bodies are diverse: county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The mix reflects health plan administration, worker safety compliance, and public safety personnel benefit systems rather than a single dominant buyer class.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual disability applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is procuring occupational medical surveillance services — baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations — with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year term plus optional extensions. The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program offering Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, with responses due October 7, 2026 and contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers to deliver emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty healthcare for detained youth, with responses due September 25, 2026. The code shows active procurement velocity across health benefits administration and occupational health compliance, though the nominal code name does not align with the actual scope of work being solicited.
