UNSPSC 85711817 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left elbow joint, external approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related healthcare management functions — none of which involve revision of tissue substitutes or surgical orthopedic procedures. The code's nominal clinical scope does not match what state and local governments are actually buying in this category.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity clusters in the West and South, with Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas well represented. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent procurement signal; misalignment between the UNSPSC category name and actual solicited work suggests potential data-entry error or intentional miscoding by issuing bodies.
