UNSPSC 85693159 Reposition left humeral head with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery, humeral head repositioning, or internal fixation devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the health administration and staffing services appearing in current solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or a divergence between the taxonomy and procurement practice.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with recent activity spanning August through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825), with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to orthopedic surgical services; pursuit under this code warrants verification of proper coding assignment with the issuing body before bid preparation.
