UNSPSC 85663347 Reposition left shoulder tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The recent solicitations instead reflect broader healthcare service procurement across occupational medicine, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve shoulder tendon repositioning surgery. This mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how these opportunities have been tagged or that the code is being used as a catch-all for diverse medical services outside its intended commodity definition. The issuing bodies include county governments, state departments, municipal retirement boards, and county health systems, indicating a mix of administrative and operational medical-service buyers.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries division), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services—medical record summaries and scheduling of disability examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, proposals due October 9, 2026, evaluated at 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians), proposals due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope.
