UNSPSC 85711017 Revision of spacer in left sternoclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity shows no meaningful alignment with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The six most recently posted opportunities under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management for county health consortiums, temporary health professional staffing pools for county health systems, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve joint replacement, orthopedic implants, or the specific procedure the code describes. State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities with this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, reflecting a mix of municipal retirement administrations, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county public safety entities.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical benefit carve-out program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code's tagging appears to reflect administrative or data-processing errors rather than procurement activity aligned with surgical joint procedures; vendors pursuing state and local opportunities should verify code alignment during RFP and RFQ review.
