UNSPSC 85693012: Revision of synthetic substitute in left radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic 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 0PWJ0JZ

UNSPSC 85693012 Revision of synthetic substitute in left radius, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code appears designed to classify orthopedic surgical procedures—specifically revision of synthetic bone or joint replacement in the radius bone via open surgical approach—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code diverge substantially from surgical implant or procedural services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader occupational health surveillance, disability benefits evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests either systemic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being repurposed to capture ancillary clinical and administrative health services rather than direct orthopedic surgery or implant revision.

The recent opportunities span multiple state and local issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations, RFP due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, approximately $8.7 million annually, RFP due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, non-exclusive qualification vehicle, proposals due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear repeat buyers within the code's recent posting history. The structural mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited—occupational health administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing—suggests this code may not be a reliable indicator of orthopedic implant or revision surgery procurement at state and local level.
