UNSPSC 85771113 Supplement left upper arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue grafting to the upper arm. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical tissue supplementation. Instead, the solicitations reflect diverse healthcare service categories including occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-tagging error by the issuing bodies or that this code is being misapplied to healthcare administration and staffing services rather than surgical procedures. State and local buyers under this code span county government agencies (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal health systems (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State), and municipal retirement boards (Phoenix).

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and procedure carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Given the procedural diversity and the code misalignment, vendors pursuing opportunities under this taxonomy should validate code assignment in each RFP to confirm relevance before investment in response preparation.
