UNSPSC 85763924 Removal of synthetic substitute from face, external approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to this code. Recent opportunities posted under this code solicitation number span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of synthetic facial substitutes or materials. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify general medical evaluation, examination, and health benefit administration services rather than the specific surgical or material-removal procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), along with regional health systems.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals, with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with submissions due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no meaningful geographic clustering. The mismatch between the code's literal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services that belong in other UNSPSC families.
