UNSPSC 85772237 Excision of left axilla, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the actual health care and administrative services state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management (PBM) administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these align with surgical excision procedures. The issuing bodies include county departments (Muscogee County Prison through Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County, Monroe County), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The code shows minimal or no relevant recent activity for its intended commodity — state and local procurement offices appear to be applying it to health care contracting broadly rather than to the specific procedure it names.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 under incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC); Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026, with award anticipated June 10, 2026, and effective date October 1, 2026). The code's tagging appears to reflect administrative classification error rather than actual surgical procurement activity.
