UNSPSC 85691534 Removal of synthetic substitute from right glenoid cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent solicitations tagged under this code purchase medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of joint implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code with negligible current use for state and local contracting.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California), representing a geographic scatter across multiple regions rather than concentrated activity. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county human resources, and county health systems — a mix of local and state entities with no single repeat buyer. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve implant removal or orthopedic surgical procedures.
