UNSPSC 85762266 Removal of synthetic substitute from chest wall, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity bears little connection to its nominal clinical description. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of synthetic chest-wall material. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). This code appears to serve as a catch-all medical services tag in state and local procurement systems rather than a code specifically aligned to its clinical definition, making it a low-fidelity indicator of actual procurement activity.

Recent opportunities show substantial geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity in medical evaluation contracting, health plan administration, and occupational health services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to conduct disability benefit medical record reviews and schedule independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual disability applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026) to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members under state regulatory requirements. The City of Long Beach is seeking proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Collier County is administering an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026). This code's continued use for medical services procurement unrelated to its clinical name suggests either persistent classification error in state and local systems or use as a default medical-services grouping code with minimal precision value for vendor targeting.
