UNSPSC 85492728 Removal of synthetic substitute from great vessel, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations do not reflect direct procurement of this service. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span broader occupational health, employee benefits administration, and public-safety disability evaluation services—functions that fall outside the procedure's scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division requested occupational medical surveillance for shipyard and vessel workers, the City of Long Beach sought Centers of Excellence carve-out management for surgical procedures bundled under a PPO carve-out model, Harris County's Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration, and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties. The code shows little thematic coherence with its stated commodity definition; the recent opportunities reflect purchasing by county human resources divisions, public safety pension boards, state transportation authorities, county health systems, and juvenile justice departments—jurisdictions managing employee health plans, occupational health compliance, and administrative medical services rather than acquiring the specific surgical procedure the code nominates.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with solicitations from Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026, requires board-certified occupational physicians and baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide; the City of Phoenix's disability medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026, targets comprehensive medical record summarization and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual disability applications under a five-year term valued at $750,000. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual solicitation content suggests either misclassification during procurement posting or use of a legacy code that no longer reflects current purchasing practice. The code does not appear to serve as an active procurement vehicle for the surgical procedure its name describes.
