UNSPSC 85692600: Irregular bones, open approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the irregular bones with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85692600 Irregular bones, open approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical procedures on irregular bones using open surgical approach—does not match the recent solicitations tagged under it. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, medical record summary services for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve orthopedic bone surgery or open surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source opportunities or that this code is being misapplied by issuing procurement offices to activities falling outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies include city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county probation department (Harris County), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the work actually being solicited, practitioners should verify code classification with issuing agencies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
