UNSPSC 85641217 Removal of radioactive element from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for radioactive material extraction, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve radioactive element removal or the surgical procedure described in the code name. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and city procurement offices across multiple states and jurisdictions.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction emerging from the handful of recent postings. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the disconnect: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026; and Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. This code appears to carry misapplied tags in state and local procurement systems and offers little actionable opportunity under its stated commodity scope.
