UNSPSC 85661315 Extirpation of matter from left thorax tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedural nomenclature describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability evaluations, surgical care networks, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve thoracic tendon procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being applied as a catchall for health services procurement without specificity to the underlying commodity.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical care carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty hospital services for youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the code's narrow clinical definition and the absence of matching recent procurement activity, vendors should verify code assignment before investing bid effort.
