This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the arm with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85712100 Joints arm, open approach-part B is a Class code under which state and local governments solicit medical surveillance, disability evaluation, and occupational health services rather than orthopedic joint procedures. The scope of work encompasses independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and health plan administration services including pharmacy benefit management and surgical care coordination. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach). The code shows broad issuance across health administration and occupational medicine functions rather than a concentrated procurement focus.

Recent activity spans multiple states and procurement types. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support Public Safety Personnel Retirement System disability determinations, with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFQ (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, emphasizing occupational medicine board certification and 24/7 technical support. Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool through an RFQ (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories such as audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services. The Long Beach RFP (due October 7, 2026) sought surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for municipal employees and retirees. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach, Collier County reference), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County), with mixed issuing bodies across municipal benefits offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and special public safety funds.
