UNSPSC 85701419 Removal of synthetic substitute from right pelvic bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural description and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no orthopedic prosthetic removal procedures. Instead, the code is being applied to administrative medical services, benefits management, and clinical staffing arrangements that state and local governments purchase to support employee health programs, public pension systems, occupational safety compliance, and detention healthcare. The actual scope of work state and local entities are sourcing under this code encompasses medical record review and summarization, independent physician examinations, Center of Excellence surgery networks, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement across multiple specialties. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), municipal workforce benefit administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County Health Care Consortium).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for proposals for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs on a voluntary basis, due October 7, 2026, targeting an April 1, 2027 go-live; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, with a two-year initial term and options for five additional one-year renewals, due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 active employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no current market activity aligned with its actual clinical nomenclature.
