UNSPSC 85673406 Extraction of right elbow bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect health services contracting across medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve purchasing or arranging the named elbow surgery procedure itself. The code appears to be a misclassification by issuing bodies rather than an accurate taxonomy match for the work actually being bought. State and local procurement under this code tag reflects health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, independent medical evaluation services for pension and disability determinations, and staffing services for ancillary clinical roles. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions seeking to manage or staff clinical functions rather than procure surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits under an Anthem PPO, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; vendors evaluating this taxonomy entry should treat it as a data quality signal rather than a procurement opportunity category.
