UNSPSC 85721536 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's clinical procedure title does not match the state and local opportunities tagged under it, which instead reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal. The recent solicitations span independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, occupational medical examinations for ferry workers, surgical care networks for municipal employees, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing, indicating the code has been misapplied to administrative and staffing services rather than the specific orthopedic procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county purchasing offices (Collier County). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, though the source contains no opportunities that actually solicit orthopedic surgical procedure services or autologous tissue work. The most recent opportunities due October 2026 include independent medical evaluations for public safety disability retirements in Phoenix (due October 16, 2026) and occupational health surveillance for Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), neither of which align with the code's stated procedure. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat the mismatch as a signal of either erroneous code assignment in the source records or a code that does not reflect active state and local procurement demand for the specific service named.
