UNSPSC 85631818 Extirpation of matter from left nipple, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its medical procedure scope. The code's nominal taxonomy — a specific surgical intervention — does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluation services, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve the surgical procedure named in the code's title. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional diversity rather than procurement concentrated in any single service line aligned with the code's stated scope.

The representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch plainly. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001). The County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties with a response deadline of October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The code appears to carry a tagging error or legacy classification that does not reflect the medical and health administrative services actually being procured by state and local bodies under this code.
