UNSPSC 85673570 Destruction of right elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure designation but does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities posted show no alignment with orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency services for youth in custody. The code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical intervention services of the type its name implies.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferries), Arizona (disability medical evaluations for public safety retirees), California (pharmacy management and temporary clinical staffing), Florida (pharmacy benefits), and Texas (youth detention medical services). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services ($750,000 maximum over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing in thirteen service categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's tag-to-procurement mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement database or a data entry error; business development professionals should verify actual procurement intent before allocating pursuit resources.
