UNSPSC 85712744 Removal of infusion device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code does not reflect the work actually being purchased by state and local healthcare administrators, retirement systems, transit authorities, counties, and municipalities in the current procurement environment.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational health surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks for municipal employee health plans), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026 and a two-year base term with options to extend; and the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits with a response date of October 7, 2026 and a two-year initial term plus three one-year renewal options. This code warrants careful category-verification before pursing opportunities, as the procurement tagging does not align with the code's stated scope.
