UNSPSC 85692635 Release thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities on record show no surgical procedures matching the code's clinical descriptor; instead, they comprise occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical care coordination — none of which involve thoracic vertebra procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and documented procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the source system or a code designation that does not align with current state and local purchasing patterns. No recent solicitations directly matching the code's clinical specification appear in the available record.

The issuing bodies sourcing related occupational and administrative medical services include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering occupational examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit applications in Arizona), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool solicitation (due October 7, 2026, establishing a multi-category qualified vendor list for ancillary clinical services).
