UNSPSC 85711862 Reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — orthopedic surgical procedures on the shoulder — diverges markedly from the recent state and local solicitations tagged to it. The six recent opportunities show no procurement of shoulder joint repositioning or orthopedic surgical services. Instead, they document activity in occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability-benefit medical evaluations (Phoenix pension boards), specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles (Santa Clara County Health System), and youth detention healthcare services (Harris County). These are health services and benefits administration, not orthopedic procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments, county human resources and health departments, city retirement offices, and county health systems — a broad mix of administrative and operational healthcare buyers.

The geographic spread includes Washington State, Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a data artifact. No recent opportunities document procurement of shoulder repositioning procedures or related orthopedic device services under this code. Business development professionals should verify the code's current mapping in their target jurisdictions before pursuing activity nominally under 85711862.
