UNSPSC 85631820 "Extirpation of matter from bilateral breast, external approach" is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the medical services being solicited in current opportunities, which span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local governments posting opportunities under this code are pursuing comprehensive medical administration, evaluation, and staffing services rather than discrete surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county employee health consortiums (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington State, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between code taxonomy and procurement reality. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination—medical record summarization and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual disability applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferries personnel across 14 Washington locations, with cost accounting for 40 percent of evaluation scoring. The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services. This code appears to carry minimal relevant recent activity; opportunities posted under it address occupational and administrative medical services, not elective surgical procedures.
