UNSPSC 85701104 Revision of internal fixation device in left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope names a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic revision surgery — but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these align with orthopedic device implantation or revision. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities, or that the code itself has been repurposed to cover a broader class of medical administration and evaluation services than its name indicates.

Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), and county juvenile detention (Harris County). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the closest alignment to the code's ostensible scope, though both are administrative medical services rather than surgical procedures. The source shows no recent opportunities for actual orthopedic implant procurement or revision surgery services under this code. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should treat it as a signal of potential miscoding and verify the actual work being bought before resource allocation.
