UNSPSC 85691404 Revision of internal fixation device in left glenoid cavity, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the scope of recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. Recent opportunities show no procurement activity for orthopedic surgical devices or procedures; instead, the code indexes medical evaluation and staffing services spanning independent disability medical examinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity suggests the code sees little relevant procurement volume or that tagging accuracy is inconsistent across issuing bodies. Issuing bodies soliciting services under or near this code include county health systems, county pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, and county human resources divisions—a mix spanning healthcare operations, employee benefits administration, and public safety personnel support rather than surgical device acquisition.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations across approximately 75 annual applications, priced at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool providing temporary ancillary clinical staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, and surgical services; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Activity concentrates in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no clear geographic concentration. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify tagging accuracy with issuing bodies, as the code appears misaligned with actual procurement intent.
