UNSPSC 85622392 Destruction of right superior parathyroid gland, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the actual state and local purchasing activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve parathyroid surgery. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. State and local governments are using this code to procure healthcare services administration, medical staffing, and occupational health programs rather than surgical procedures themselves. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and municipal employee benefits administrators (Long Beach). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system workers across 14 locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, covering approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle). The code appears to carry a systematic tagging error and does not reliably reflect actual state and local procurement demand.
