I would call UA and have them build what Orbitz is showing exactly with the same codes and see if they can get the same price.
Yes, good suggestion; most likely, United.bomb is showing the itin priced with UA codeshares. If there's award inventory, the OP could use the award search engine to build an itin with the partner flight #s and then choose the "pay $$ instead of miles" option at the end. Otherwise, calling is the only option.
