UNSPSC 85693000: Long bones arm, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the arm 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 85693000 Long bones arm, open approach-part A is a Class code showing minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract clinical nomenclature—orthopedic surgical procedures on the upper extremity—does not map to the solicitations tagged under it in state and local procurement systems. Recent opportunities instead reflect health services administration, medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices that the code nominally describes. The source contains no active solicitations for bone plates, fixation systems, prosthetics, surgical instruments, or related consumables that would constitute actual purchases under this Class code.

State and local health systems, retirement boards, county human resources divisions, and transportation agencies have posted requests since mid-August 2026 under this code tag, but the work being solicited—independent medical evaluations for disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414); and surgical benefits carve-out programs (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753)—falls outside the scope of orthopedic implants, devices, or surgical materials. The mismatch suggests classification drift in state and local procurement databases rather than genuine demand for products or services this code describes.
