UNSPSC 85663732 Extirpation of matter from right shoulder tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that displays a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedural title and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures on shoulder tendons. Instead, state and local buyers are using this code to tag disability medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's name. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara).

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees, posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington, with individual solicitations from Florida (Collier County) and Texas (Harris County). The code shows recent activity but little relevance to its stated taxonomy purpose; buyers appear to be using it as a catch-all for health-services procurement rather than as a true indicator of orthopedic surgical demand.
