UNSPSC 85693717 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its procedural medical nomenclature and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, health plan pharmacy and surgical benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic prosthetic removal or percutaneous procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized public agencies (Washington State Ferries). No single buyer dominates the code's recent activity.

Geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (WSDOT/WSF), with recent opportunities concentrated in the West and South. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) seeking medical record summary and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry terminal locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary staffing RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, no-guarantee basis. The code appears to function as a catchall for health services procurement in state and local systems, not as a vehicle for the specific surgical procedure the code name describes. Firms should verify actual scope before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
