UNSPSC 85631134 Removal of synthetic substitute from skin, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out management for government health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of synthetic skin substitutes. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a genuine descriptor of what is being procured; the opportunities span medical administration, healthcare management, and clinical services across diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, estimated at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but does not represent a coherent procurement category; buyers pursuing opportunities in healthcare services, medical evaluation, or occupational health should disregard this code's nominal title and rely instead on the specific scope described in individual solicitations.
