UNSPSC 85691912 Revision of internal fixation device in left rib, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve revision of internal fixation devices or orthopedic implant procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), typically procuring through RFP or RFI channels. This code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and the health services actually being tagged under it in state and local procurement systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year contract), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical spend of $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026). The code exhibits no meaningful relevance to orthopedic device procurement and warrants recoding review before pursuit.
