UNSPSC 85663435 Excision of left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—none of which correspond to surgical procedures on specific anatomical sites. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure nomenclature and the administrative and occupational health services appearing in recent procurement activity suggests that this code either has been misapplied by issuing bodies or carries little relevance to actual state and local purchasing patterns.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026 with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services posted August 25, 2026 with responses due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, though the code shows no meaningful concentration in any single jurisdiction or service line relevant to its stated definition.
