UNSPSC 85503371 Extirpation of matter from right temporal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its medical-procedure nomenclature and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve vascular or neuroendoscopic procedures. Instead, they reflect a collection of occupational health, employee benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing services—administrative and staffing functions rather than the surgical intervention the code name describes. State and local procurement offices are using this code to solicit independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach). No repeat buyers appear in the recent opportunities.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summary preparation and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees.
