UNSPSC 85782820 Removal of radioactive element from left lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health screening, disability benefit medical evaluations, hospital-based surgical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve radioactive element removal or the specific clinical procedure the code name describes. The code shows no recent activity genuinely matching its stated scope; state and local procurement systems appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to general medical evaluation and staffing services that fall outside its clinical domain.

Recent opportunities include an RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Oct 16, 2026 response deadline) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations for public safety retirees under Arizona's PSPRS, an RFP from the City of Long Beach (Oct 7, 2026) for surgical specialty center-of-excellence networks covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, an RFQ from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (Oct 9, 2026), an RFI from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Sep 25, 2026), an RFP from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 enrolled employees (Apr 9, 2026 deadline, though this date appears erroneous in the source), and an RFQ from the County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services (Oct 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county human resources and health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code is unsuitable for market analysis and pursuit decisions.
