UNSPSC 85711701 Change other device in upper joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic surgical device insertion — bears no meaningful connection to the medical and health services being solicited by state and local buyers under this code designation.

The recent opportunities posted against this code reflect administrative and occupational health services rather than medical device procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under its public safety pension boards (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026). The City of Long Beach sought a surgical procedure carve-out benefit management program for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services for its employee health consortium (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involves orthopedic implants, devices, or surgical procedures themselves. This code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing device or implant sales to state and local government.
