UNSPSC 85692961 Repair left radius, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally refers to orthopedic surgical repair of the left radius bone, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities reflect administrative healthcare services, benefit program management, and staffing procurement—none involving radius repair or operative orthopedic care. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach, Washington State DOT), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The code shows little meaningful activity aligned with its stated orthopedic scope and appears to be a systematic miscoding issue rather than a signal of genuine state and local procurement demand for radius repair services.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration pattern. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 response date and $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-outs due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026. Pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body that the work actually involves orthopedic surgery or radius-specific repair services; the current tagging suggests administrative miscoding rather than operational demand in the code's stated commodity family.
