UNSPSC 85692602 Revision of synthetic substitute in thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it predominantly solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), and a city retirement office (City of Phoenix). The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being applied to medical services procurement more broadly rather than to the specific thoracic vertebra surgical procedure it names.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's procurement of independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications ($750,000 over five years, RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not show substantive recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure scope.
