UNSPSC 85712163 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and health-services work actually being solicited by state and local entities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal. The code appears to be a procedural taxonomy entry unsuitable for state and local procurement characterization; the issuing bodies pursuing opportunities in this code's tag set include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments, but the actual services they are buying do not map to the code's nominal scope.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out, Santa Clara health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County youth detention healthcare), with response dates spanning August through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years; and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope.
