UNSPSC 85722846 Revision of internal fixation device in right hip joint, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and health benefit management services, though the recent solicitations show little direct alignment with orthopedic device revision work as the code name suggests. The scope of work actually being solicited under this code includes independent medical evaluations and disability benefit assessments for public safety personnel retirement determinations; occupational medical surveillance services for transportation workers; specialty and emergency medical care for detained youth; pharmacy benefit management and claims administration; and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties such as audiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services. Issuing bodies span city retirement offices and pension boards (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and municipal employee benefits divisions (Long Beach). The code shows a fragmented mix of municipal, county, and state health administration and benefits contracting rather than concentrated activity among a single class of issuer.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with solicitations from Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas in the past two months. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for Center of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, with go-live targeted April 1, 2027), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but the work tagged under it diverges significantly from the code's stated focus on orthopedic device revision, suggesting possible miscoding in state procurement databases.
