About UNSPSC 85710000
UNSPSC 85710000 Surgical interventions or procedures of upper joints is a Family code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this label. Recent opportunities posted under this code span medical record review and disability benefit evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency care coordination for detained youth—none of which align with surgical interventions on upper joints. The code shows a labeling mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement intent across the issuing bodies, suggesting that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code to broader healthcare services and benefits administration rather than to orthopedic or upper-extremity surgical procedures.
Issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city benefits administration (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county human resources division (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for PPO members (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The Phoenix and Long Beach opportunities mention surgery but as insurance benefits administration and Center of Excellence network carve-outs, not surgical intervention delivery.
