UNSPSC 85673006 Repair right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity reflects a significant mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement and pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners. The work actually being solicited ranges from disability medical record review and comprehensive independent medical examinations for public safety retirement determinations, to occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, to healthcare benefits procurement and clinical staffing services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a total maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefits and Centers of Excellence management (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement but little substantive alignment with the stated orthopedic procedure title, suggesting either systematic miscoding or administrative misclassification of medical services opportunities.
