UNSPSC 85691827 Repair right scapula, external approach (Commodity) shows limited alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic surgical repair of a specific anatomical site — does not match the medical services state and local governments are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities posted under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees and retirees. These solicitations center on administrative medical services, benefits program management, and occupational health compliance rather than direct orthopedic surgery or musculoskeletal repair procedures.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of municipal human resources and benefits departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and specialized public sector pension and retirement boards. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, and other procedures through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) for ferry system workers across 14 locations. Santa Clara County Health System established a multiple-award temporary staffing pool (due October 7, 2026) for 13 ancillary health professional categories. Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (deadline April 9, 2026, now past) covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending. Geographic concentration centers on California, Arizona, and Washington, with Harris County (Texas) posting an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic procedure focus and the actual scope of posted opportunities suggests this code has little relevance to current state and local procurement activity.
