UNSPSC 85761842 Removal of radioactive element from respiratory tract, open approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity does not align with the code's medical procedure title. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none involving radiological procedures or respiratory tract interventions. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional dispersion. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or mission creep in how the code is being applied across state and local procurement systems.

The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, requiring a licensed occupational medicine physician to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferry system personnel across 14 Washington locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Because the code's technical definition and recent solicitation content are fundamentally disconnected, pursuing opportunities under this code requires careful verification that individual RFPs are correctly classified before committing resources to pursuit.
