UNSPSC 85711222 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with current state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow medical procedure descriptor does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out network services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or tissue substitute removal. Issuing bodies range from city retirement boards and county health systems to state transportation departments and county juvenile probation authorities, reflecting demand across diverse public-sector healthcare and benefits administration functions. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggests either miscoding in the opportunities or a categorization error at the UNSPSC tier; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support approximately 75 annual public safety disability pension determinations at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services managing approximately 2,400 enrolled employees at approximately $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.
