UNSPSC 85682955 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from skull, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that the source shows little relevant recent activity for. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which concern surgical removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from the skull. The mismatch suggests the code does not reflect how state and local governments currently procure services under this taxonomy entry, or the opportunities were tagged incorrectly in the source system.

The most substantive recent posting under this code is a Request for Proposals from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations — a $750,000 five-year contract. Other notable solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's Request for Proposals for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (258414), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities shown, this code warrants investigation into whether it is being misapplied or whether the source reflects broader mislabeling in the underlying procurement database.
