UNSPSC 85701140 Reposition left pelvic bone with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively purchasing under its literal clinical scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal orthopedic surgical procedure classification and the work actually being solicited. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and surgical carve-out benefit program design for government employee health plans. None of these services involve the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code names. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state departments of transportation, municipal retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments — a mix of health administrative and workforce benefit entities rather than surgical service providers or orthopedic facilities.

Activity across these tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for $750,000 over five years), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing qualification pool RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026), with Collier County, Florida issuing a pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026. The code shows no coherent purchasing pattern aligned with its stated clinical definition, suggesting either systematic miscoding of health administration and occupational medicine opportunities or minimal actual procurement of orthopedic surgical repositioning procedures through state and local channels under this taxonomy classification.
