UNSPSC 85711811 "Revision of spacer in right wrist joint, external approach" is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect direct purchasing of that service. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to a broad range of health and medical services procurement that bears no relationship to wrist joint surgery — including independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for medical-services RFPs that do not fit more granular classifications.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out services under an employee health plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026 — superseded) for pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and Santa Clara County (California) issued a multiple-award qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical specialties. The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, but lacks sufficient recent opportunities under its stated scope to support reliable geographic or issuing-body trend analysis.
