UNSPSC 85693756 Removal of synthetic substitute from right clavicle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgery, clavicle procedures, or synthetic implant removal. Instead, state and local buyers are using this code designation—apparently in error—to solicit disability and occupational medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical network carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency healthcare for detained youth. None of these services align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span a wide jurisdictional mix: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical center-of-excellence networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP for occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP for temporary clinical staffing). Geographic reach spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code itself names a narrow surgical procedure and the actual opportunities procured under it are general medical administration and staffing services with no mention of clavicle surgery or orthopedic implants, this code does not represent a usable procurement category for firms offering orthopedic surgical services or implant-removal expertise. The tagging appears systematic enough to suggest data quality issues in how these opportunities were classified, rather than genuine demand for the procedure named.
