UNSPSC 85651914 Extirpation of matter from right thorax muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code do not reflect medical procedures in that sense. Recent solicitations tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical specialty carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans—none of which align with the direct procurement or performance of extirpation procedures themselves. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being bought suggests either miscoding in the source opportunities or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not fit the nominal taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). Activity concentrates in the West and Southwest, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. The code does not appear to be a reliable signal for procurement strategy in this commodity family.
