UNSPSC 85671528 Extraction of left lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical extraction services. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical services through state and local procurement channels.

The six opportunities spanning August through September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories including orthopedic services, RFP due October 7, 2026). These solicitations originate from Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased under it do not correspond; prospective vendors should verify code assignment before bidding or repositioning services under related medical staffing or occupational health categories.
