UNSPSC 85712042 Revision of spacer in right shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show little alignment with that clinical descriptor. The available recent activity spans medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or surgical supplies. The code appears to capture a narrow clinical service category that does not match the scope of work actually being procured by state and local buyers under this designation.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant opportunities aligned to its stated scope of orthopedic joint procedures or surgical implants.
