This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right radius with internal fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85693138 Reposition right radius with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not match that scope. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the reposition of a radius bone with internal fixation during open surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a systematic misclassification of medical services procurement under an orthopedic-procedure code.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no evident concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the apparent code-scope mismatch, firms should verify that any pursuit under this code reflects genuine alignment with their service offerings rather than relying on the code's orthopedic procedure title.
