UNSPSC 85712075 Reposition right wrist joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit design, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic wrist procedures or surgical device placement. State and local procurement bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices and pension boards, county health systems and probation departments, state transportation agencies, and county human resources and procurement divisions. The work being solicited represents a mix of health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than medical device or surgical procedure procurement.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record review and scheduling of physician examinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code classification appears misaligned with actual procurement activity; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should verify whether the issuing body has applied the code correctly to the work being solicited.
