UNSPSC 85691945 Reposition left rib, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass employee health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, specialty surgery networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with surgical orthopedic procedures. The mismatch indicates either a data entry error in the procurement systems issuing these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical definition and its application in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices and pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and physician examination coordination at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Ferries locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misclassification in these active solicitations, this code presents no meaningful pursuit opportunity for firms focused on orthopedic surgical services or related clinical procedures.
