UNSPSC 85712826 Fusion of left shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently tagged under it in state and local government. Recent solicitations carrying this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the solicitation management systems or use of the code as a placeholder for broader healthcare procurement categories. State and local healthcare procurement under this code currently reaches county health systems, county pension boards, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out networks due October 7, 2026 and targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing effective October 7, 2026. Activity is limited and geographically dispersed, with no dominant repeat buyer or procurement pattern.
