UNSPSC 85671615 Extraction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical descriptor refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to operative extraction of soft tissue — they encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local governments are not soliciting procurement of this procedure code in the traditional sense; the code appears to have been misapplied to administrative and clinical services that do not align with its definition.

The recent opportunities that tagged this code originate from diverse issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and municipal workforce agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgical procedure carve-out network for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the pervasive mismatch between code definition and actual procurement content, this code does not represent a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local buyers for orthopedic surgical procedure extraction services.
