UNSPSC 85723005 Revision of external fixation device in left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The source shows no state and local procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device revision services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These represent health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing, not orthopedic device procurement or revision procedures.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System at a five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension. The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed volume. Recent opportunities originate from Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, reflecting broad geographic distribution across state and local health systems, retirement boards, and transit authorities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited signals that this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity for its stated purpose.
