UNSPSC 85711836, Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left shoulder joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties, specialty medical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and information-gathering on emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth. These solicitations span medical administration, benefits design, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing — none of which are orthopedic revision surgeries or tissue-substitute procedures.

The issuing-body mix includes state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), with no repeat buyers evident across the recent opportunities. Geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, due October 16, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services serving approximately 7,200 covered lives with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026. The code exhibits little relevant recent procurement activity and appears misaligned with its intended scope.
