UNSPSC 85693053: Supplement right ulna with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right ulna with synthetic substitute, 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 0PUK0JZ

UNSPSC 85693053 Supplement right ulna with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with it bear no relationship to orthopedic implants or surgical supplies. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve ulna supplementation or surgical implants. The mismatch indicates that this code either has been misapplied by issuing bodies or contains records from unrelated procurement categories. The actual procurement activity under this code designation spans medical service administration, health plan management, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic device supply.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) requested surgical carve-out benefit program proposals due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) opened a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool due October 7, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) released an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody due September 25, 2026. The geographic distribution spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code should be treated as unreliable for targeting orthopedic device or surgical supply opportunities.
