UNSPSC 85673322 Supplement left elbow bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal surgical procedure classification; instead, they reflect a broad range of health and human services procurement including occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. The code does not appear to be used consistently to classify orthopedic implant or surgical procedure work; the opportunities suggest a UNSPSC tagging mismatch or an agency classification drift toward broader health services procurement.

Geographic activity centers on California (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Long Beach) and the Pacific Northwest (Washington State), with additional solicitations from Arizona (Phoenix) and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering four personnel categories across 14 ferry system locations statewide; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Buyers should note that this code's recent activity does not correspond meaningfully to orthopedic implant supply or surgical implant procurement and may warrant reconsideration or code reassignment by issuing bodies.
