UNSPSC 85672330 Excision of right knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent contract opportunities posted under it by state and local issuing bodies pursue occupational and occupational-health-related medical services — independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a taxonomy error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's intended scope and its current use in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities show activity among diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards), the City of Long Beach (employee health plan surgical benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical pharmacy spending around $8.7 million annually (proposals due April 9, 2026). No pursue signal is present for this code given the categorical disconnect between its defined scope and the actual work state and local buyers are soliciting.
