UNSPSC 85712063 Supplement right shoulder joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopaedic implants for shoulder replacement—diverges significantly from the actual state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations concern shoulder joint implants or orthopaedic device procurement. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities to the code.

The geographic spread of the mis-tagged opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' independent medical evaluation services), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out and County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). The issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and cities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance with a response date of October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its orthopaedic device scope.
