UNSPSC 85692419 Removal of synthetic substitute from right rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that displays a fundamental mismatch between its clinical-procedure taxonomy label and the state and local government work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical procedures or medical device removal; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of surgical intervention.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and a county health care consortium. Geographic activity includes California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, which calls for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 Washington State ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting public safety pension disability determinations; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all administrative default rather than a targeted medical device or surgical procedure procurement vehicle, suggesting that business development professionals should verify coding with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this code.
