UNSPSC 85652822 Extirpation of matter from right lower leg muscle, open approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's title suggests orthopedic surgical intervention, but the recent opportunities tagged under it are overwhelmingly administrative and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, surgical care center-of-excellence carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. State and local issuers span county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems. The code shows little activity aligned with its stated procedural focus; the opportunities instead reflect purchasing for administrative health services, benefits management, and occupational or clinical staffing support.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting proposals for independent medical evaluation services, including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026 (RFP RTMRFP26001). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for vessel and terminal workers across 14 statewide locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 (RFP RFP20260825). The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through vetted Centers of Excellence, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFP HR26753). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity, firms targeting this code should clarify whether their actual services align with the opportunities tagged under it or whether the code itself warrants reconsideration in their targeting strategy.
