UNSPSC 85761742 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mediastinum, external approach is a Commodity code for a highly specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the clinical scope the code nominally describes. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from the mediastinum. This code appears to reflect a tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems rather than genuine procurement activity matching the code's clinical definition.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities across multiple jurisdictions including Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and Center of Excellence network management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the procedure named in its definition, and pursuit under this code would require verification that opportunities are correctly tagged before bidding.
