UNSPSC 85712082 Reposition right elbow joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical-procedure designation does not match the health-related services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this classification.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting proposals for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and maximum contract compensation of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence with proposals due October 7, 2026 and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code as currently tagged appears to be a taxonomy misclassification for broader occupational health, medical administration, and benefits management services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.
