UNSPSC 85662312 Extirpation of matter from right hip tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity disconnected from its clinical procedural name. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they reflect a range of health administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing services — including disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited show material misalignment, suggesting either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all container for health-related services that do not fit elsewhere in the UNSPSC hierarchy.

State and local issuing bodies placing activity under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administration (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations in Phoenix with proposals due October 16, 2026; surgical benefit carve-out management for Long Beach city employees with proposals due October 7, 2026; and temporary health professional staffing qualification pools at the Santa Clara Health System with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a dominant or repeat buyer across the recent block. Given the divergence between the code's orthopedic surgical label and the health administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services actually being solicited, firms should treat activity under this code as sporadic and verify code alignment before pursuing.
