UNSPSC 85711042 Removal of infusion device from left acromioclavicular joint, external approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical code name and state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities reveal that state and local bodies are using this code to solicit medical services far removed from orthopedic surgical procedure removal — specifically occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing-body mix includes state departments of transportation, county boards of commissioners, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies. Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted relevant opportunities in the past two months.

Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking disability medical record summaries and comprehensive examinations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been misapplied or used as a catch-all tag for healthcare services procurement; no recent opportunity actually solicits the orthopedic surgical removal procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buyers in this space are pursuing healthcare administration, occupational health screening, benefits carve-out management, and temporary clinical staffing rather than surgical device extraction.
