UNSPSC 85692902: Revision of synthetic substitute in left ulna, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left ulna, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PWLXJZ

UNSPSC 85692902, Revision of synthetic substitute in left ulna external approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the ulna bone—appears to describe a discrete clinical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare. State and local governments are not procuring ulna revision procedures as standalone contracted services; they are procuring medical administration, staffing, and benefits management. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual work being bought.

The recent opportunities reflect purchasing by county health systems, municipal health departments, county commissioners, and a state transportation agency across six distinct jurisdictions—Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington—posted between July and September 2026 with response deadlines in October 2026 and beyond. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summaries and disability examinations for approximately 75 annual applications under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the consistent divergence between the code name and the work actually being procured, this code shows little meaningful recent activity for business development targeting state and local procurement under its stated scope.
