UNSPSC 85691904 Revision of internal fixation device in left scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code used in medical billing and clinical documentation systems, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the surgical implant revision scope the code name suggests. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the opportunities or a use of the code as a catch-all for medical services procurement unrelated to its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources functions (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and independent special-purpose pension boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal definition bears no relation to what state and local governments are actually procuring under it, firms should verify their own line of business against the specific opportunity scope rather than rely on the code name to signal relevance.
