UNSPSC 85631468 Extirpation of matter from right foot skin, external approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations for dermatological or podiatric procedures. Instead, the code has been applied to six diverse health services procurements spanning occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect administrative, managed-care, and occupational health functions rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are a mix of state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), suggesting the code is either misapplied as a default catch-all for health services or reflects inconsistent tagging practices across jurisdictions.

Recent activity clusters in the Southwest and West, with posted opportunities from Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeks baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard and deck crew across 14 ferry locations, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services and disability record summaries, with a $750,000 maximum over five years; and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishes a multiple-award qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed volume. The code shows little coherent procurement pattern and appears to reflect administrative tagging errors rather than genuine commodity classification, making it unsuitable as a reliable market signal for health services solicitations.
