UNSPSC 85771151 Insertion of radioactive element into left upper arm, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health screening, disability medical evaluations, employee health benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve radioactive implants or surgical oncology procedures. The code shows a persistent mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and state and local procurement practice; issuers are using it to classify a broad set of occupational medicine, benefits management, and health professional services that fall outside the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal benefits administrators (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 (a two-year contract with optional extensions, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians and 24/7 technical support across 14 ferry locations); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (up to $750,000 over five years for disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026 (a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas. This code warrants careful category review before pursuit, as the nominal scope bears little relation to the medical administration and occupational health services actually being solicited.
