UNSPSC 85693021: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left humeral shaft, 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 0PWG0KZ

UNSPSC 85693021 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope addresses surgical procedures on the humerus; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show little activity directly related to orthopedic surgical services. The recent opportunities instead reflect health care administration and occupational medical surveillance work — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit network administration, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing. When activity does appear under this code, it spans municipal retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county health departments rather than surgical providers or hospitals performing the procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this code may be misapplied in the state and local procurement environment, or reflects broader health care service contracting under a code originally designed for a specific surgical intervention.

Recent opportunities originate from Phoenix, Arizona (independent medical evaluations for fire and police pension boards, due October 16, 2026); Long Beach, California (surgical benefit program for municipal employees, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026); Harris County, Texas (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026); Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County, California (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in California and multi-state, with no clear regional pattern suggesting this code is a low-signal category for business development focused on state and local procurement under surgical procedure codes.
