UNSPSC 85691942 Reposition left scapula with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic scapular surgery or internal fixation devices. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Ferries). No orthopedic surgical procedures or implant vendors appear in any recent posting.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington across the six posted opportunities. The most recent activities are general medical services procurement: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The code's medical-procedure title does not align with any documented recent procurement activity, suggesting either tagging error or dormancy in scapular orthopedic implant acquisition at the state and local level during this period.
