UNSPSC 85712166 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The code's abstract designation describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it encompass medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve autologous tissue removal or shoulder joint procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or generically to healthcare services contracts rather than to the specific surgical intervention the code nominates.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span diverse state and local entities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (managing public safety pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (custodial youth medical care), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability retirement determinations due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026. The code as currently tagged appears to lack decision-relevant procurement activity in its stated scope.
