UNSPSC 85693130 Reposition left radius with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not involve orthopedic surgery or medical procedures at all. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examination coordination, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being procured is substantial—the recent opportunities reflect administrative and benefits-management healthcare services, not operative interventions. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the County of Santa Clara Health System each appear in multiple active solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with up to five one-year extensions), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits under an Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 2027 contract start), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the procedure its name describes.
