UNSPSC 85712182 Release right shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal surgical scope. The posted opportunities bearing this code tag span occupational medical surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve orthopedic shoulder procedures. The single opportunity nominally closest to the code name, the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), does reference shoulder procedures as one of several Centers of Excellence service lines, but the program covers multiple surgical and procedural categories and targets health plan administration rather than direct surgical delivery. The issuing bodies span state agencies, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts (city retirement offices, health systems, juvenile probation departments), reflecting the diversity of state and local health and benefits procurement.

Recent postings show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction dominating. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound ferry terminals (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 ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little recent relevant activity for actual shoulder-procedure services and appears to be either a tagging error or an administrative holdover in the state and local procurement databases.
