UNSPSC 85701017 Revision of external fixation device in right pelvic bone, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally addresses orthopedic surgical devices and procedures. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show little alignment with that scope. Instead, the solicitations reflect a mix of occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic device revision or external fixation. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government entities (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), indicating broad state and local participation. The lack of coherence between the code name and the recent opportunities suggests either a cataloging misalignment in the posting system or that this Commodity code sees minimal volume in its intended market.

The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (covering 14 Washington locations with examinations for ferry system personnel, administered by licensed occupational medicine physicians); the City of Phoenix's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (a $750,000 five-year contract with 75 annual disability applications); and the County of Santa Clara's October 7, 2026 RFSQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no recent relevant contract opportunities in its stated commodity domain.
