UNSPSC 85663428 Extirpation of matter from right lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect orthopedic or surgical procedures; instead, they show procurement of occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to have been applied to procurements outside its nominal scope, and the summary below reflects the actual work being solicited under this tag rather than the abstract code definition. State and local governments are buying independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational surveillance services for ferry workers, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement services. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), counties with detention operations (Harris County), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach).

Recent activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for Independent Medical Evaluation Services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and examinations for approximately 75 annual fire and police pension applications at a $750,000 maximum over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, respiratory care, and surgical support (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026) managing approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million.
