UNSPSC 85711860: Reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0RSKX4Z

UNSPSC 85711860 Reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical procedure codes for orthopedic intervention—does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it. The most recent state and local solicitations under this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, none of which describe shoulder joint repositioning procedures or implantable fixation devices. State and local governments do not typically procure specific surgical procedures themselves; instead, they contract for medical services administration, employee health benefits, and clinical staffing that may encompass such procedures as components of broader healthcare delivery. The issuing bodies in the recent record include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, closing October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, closing October 9, 2026 with evaluation weighted 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, closing October 7, 2026. The code's misalignment with its nominal scope suggests either a data-quality issue in the state or local procurement system or that this UNSPSC classification is not actively used for surgical procedure procurement by public bodies. Business development professionals should verify the code's relevance for their service or product line rather than relying on these recent tags as indicative of actual market demand.
