UNSPSC 85673531 Extirpation of matter from left shoulder bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures at all; instead, they cover occupational and public-sector medical services including independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and medical services for youth in custody. The code's nominal descriptor—a specific percutaneous shoulder surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the scope of work these jurisdictions are soliciting.

State and local procurement offices are posting opportunities across this code from counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical care carve-out program offering Centers of Excellence networks for employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to reflect a data-entry or taxonomy-matching error rather than intentional procurement categorization; the opportunities do not support pursuit under this code's stated medical procedure scope.
