UNSPSC 85693100: Long bones arm, open approach-part B

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 85693100 Long bones arm, open approach–part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure category, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not procure surgical implants, devices, or procedure-specific materials for orthopedic or trauma surgery. Instead, the opportunities address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefits administration—administrative, staffing, and care-coordination services rather than the implantable hardware or surgical consumables the code's title suggests. The issuing bodies range across a state transportation department, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county commissioners, with no standout repeat buyers under this code in the recent activity block.

Geographic spread includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026, for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, for disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for public safety pension applicants; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing services RFSQ due October 7, 2026, for qualified vendor pools across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code's mismatch with actual procurement content suggests limited relevance to firms pursuing orthopedic device, implant, or surgical procedure supply contracts in state and local markets.
