UNSPSC 85672510 Supplement right thorax bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic implant supply, surgical instruments, or procedural materials. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare services procurement — medical record review and summarization, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual services being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-tagging error in the source system. State and local governments posting under this code are not buying orthopedic implants or surgical supplies; they are buying healthcare administrative and clinical staffing services.

Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, at a total maximum of $750,000 over five years.

Collier County issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being procured, buyers should verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
