UNSPSC 85711855 Reposition left elbow joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code since mid-July 2026 are: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, October 16, 2026 deadline); surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP, October 7, 2026 deadline); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, October 9, 2026 deadline); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI, September 25, 2026 deadline); pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, April 9, 2026 deadline); and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP, October 7, 2026 deadline). None of these opportunities involve orthopedic surgery, elbow joint procedures, or surgical implants—the work actually being solicited falls entirely outside the code's stated scope of reposition procedures with internal fixation devices.

The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests this code does not reflect how state and local health systems, counties, cities, and public pension boards classify their healthcare services work. Business development professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should treat the recent posting history as a signal that the code is either unused or misapplied in practice by issuing bodies. Opportunities in state and local healthcare services procurement—staffing, benefits administration, medical evaluations, and facility-based care—appear to be tagged under different taxonomy codes or not tagged by UNSPSC tier at all in the systems where these solicitations post.
