UNSPSC 85712262 Fusion of right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures or surgical implant devices; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated product or service line. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all category by some issuing bodies. No solicitations for actual fusion implants, surgical instruments, or orthopedic fixation devices appear in the recent opportunities block.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span multiple state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographically, the recent activity clusters in California, Arizona, Texas, Washington, and Florida, though the opportunities are healthcare administration and occupational health services rather than surgical supplies or devices. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for orthopedic device procurement and verify any opportunity tagged to 85712262 before engaging, as the code's taxonomy definition does not match the work state and local bodies are actually soliciting.
