UNSPSC 85663207 Release left shoulder tendon, external approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement taxonomy but does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or shoulder tendon repair. The mismatch suggests either a classification error by issuing bodies or a breakdown in how this particular code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. The code shows minimal relevance to the actual scope of medical and healthcare administrative services being advertised.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida based on recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational medicine examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000, and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for a non-exclusive, multiple-award vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Pursuing opportunities under this code requires verifying that the actual work scope aligns with vendor capability rather than relying on the code designation alone.
