UNSPSC 85693011: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left radius, open 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 0PWJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85693011 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left radius, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure code rather than a procurement category, and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with medical devices, tissue products, or orthopedic implants. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have applied to healthcare services and benefits management solicitations; the opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of the tissue substitute materials or surgical services the code name suggests. Instead, the recent activity includes disability medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for juvenile detainees—functions that fall under healthcare administration, staffing, or benefits outsourcing rather than orthopedic implant supply or revision surgery delivery.

Activity under this code appears sporadic and geographically scattered across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The issuing bodies span municipal retirement systems, city employee benefits offices, state transportation agencies, county human resources divisions, and juvenile justice systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal orthopedic procedure scope and the actual healthcare administrative and staffing services being purchased suggests potential system miscoding rather than active procurement of the implant or surgical services the code describes.
