UNSPSC 85781734 Excision of right ankle region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the work actually being solicited by state and local government entities in the recent opportunities block. The code name references a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 do not involve orthopedic surgical services. Instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code carries little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in medical or surgical service lines.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. Geographic activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent postings. The three most substantive recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026, with selection and negotiation targeted for January–March 2027 and go-live April 1, 2027). None of these opportunities align with the code's stated focus on ankle surgery.
