This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left ulna with ring external fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85693113 Reposition left ulna with ring external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation, benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, and staffing services—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the source data or that this code has been repurposed for broader healthcare service procurement in the state and local system. State and local buyers issuing under this code include municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and county benefits consortiums. The actual work being solicited spans independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, and Washington, with the most concrete solicitations originating from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spend), and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Southwest, West Coast, and California jurisdictions, though the code's recent activity appears limited to these isolated opportunities with little indication of systemic or recurring procurement under the nominal code descriptor.
