This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85695023 (Removal of synthetic substitute from right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its medical-procedure nomenclature and the recent state and local opportunities actually posted under it. The code's clinical specificity—a surgical procedure on a single anatomical site—does not match the scope of work state and local jurisdictions are soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public-safety retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles. None of these solicitations involve thumb-phalanx surgery or synthetic-substitute removal. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems. No vendor name or repeat buyer pattern emerges from the recent records.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Arizona, with additional recent solicitations from Washington State and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations statewide, due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 and estimated start date of February 3, 2027. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, as a non-exclusive, multiple-award, five-year qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume. This code does not reflect coherent procurement activity around its nominal commodity definition and warrants reassessment of its tagging accuracy in state and local sourcing systems.
