UNSPSC 85693406 Extirpation of matter from right humeral shaft, open approach (Commodity) shows a severe mismatch between its nominal clinical-surgical scope and the actual state and local procurement activity currently being tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/inpatient care for detained youth — none of which are orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple unrelated health services solicitations, suggesting either a data-entry error in tagging or a systematic miscoding at issuing bodies rather than a genuine procurement category in active use for the clinical procedure the code describes.

Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually (258414, deadline April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties excluding nursing and physicians (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span county health systems, county human resources departments, city retirement offices, county probation departments, and state transportation agencies across California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The code does not currently reflect active procurement in the surgical orthopedic domain it nominally describes.
