UNSPSC 85671953 Repair left knee bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical repair work. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). These opportunities reflect administrative healthcare contracting, benefit management, and occupational health oversight rather than surgical procedure provision or repair services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for services they are currently buying, or that the opportunities are misclassified. Firms seeking surgical procedure work through state and local channels should monitor different UNSPSC codes or verify classification directly with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code. The recent activity shows no concentration among particular issuing bodies or geographic regions relevant to orthopedic surgical repair, and the opportunities present are better characterized as health benefit, staffing, and occupational medicine contracting rather than surgical service provision.
