UNSPSC 85681233, Replacement of hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code whose abstract nomenclature does not reflect the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The code shows no recent opportunities for surgical implant devices, orthopedic hardware, or tissue substitutes; instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical-procedure scope and the actual state and local buying activity suggests either miscoding in the source system or that the code is not a primary purchasing vehicle for the work actually being procured by state and local agencies.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, administered through Washington State Ferries across 14 regional locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and public health systems. The recent activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's stated clinical scope and the actual procurement categories surfacing under it, this code warrants close review before pursuing work — the tagging appears unreliable for identifying relevant opportunities in this commodity family.
