UNSPSC 85651164 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower muscle, open approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity bears no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical specialty networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical care — none of which involve tissue substitute removal or surgical intervention at the procedural level the code describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and municipalities procuring health benefits and clinical staffing services. This mismatch suggests the code is being applied as a catch-all taxonomy entry for miscellaneous health-related procurement rather than as a precise descriptor of the actual work being bought.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 go-live). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope.
