UNSPSC 85761867 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from chest wall, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical or tissue-removal services. Instead, the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy definition and actual state and local buying patterns: jurisdictions are using it to classify administrative health services procurement, benefits management, and clinician staffing, not the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or a data classification error at the taxonomy source level. Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice departments—a broad mix of health administration, benefits, and safety-related functions rather than acute surgical services.

Geographic spread includes Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance), California (Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing and City of Long Beach surgery benefits), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), Arizona (City of Phoenix pension medical evaluations), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency services RFI). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations with cost-based scoring and an October 9, 2026 due date; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline and no guaranteed work. The code shows recent activity but does not reliably signal opportunities for surgical or tissue-substitute removal services procurement.
