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 actual state and local healthcare procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this orthopedic surgical procedure code reflect instead comprehensive healthcare service delivery: inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures, implants, or the orthopedic supply chains the code nominally describes. State and local buyers posting under this code are issuing RFPs for multi-year healthcare administration and service contracting rather than procurement of medical devices or surgical supplies.

The geographic spread and recent activity reflect healthcare administration across multiple jurisdictions: Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) solicited inmate medical services in April 2026 with a May 15 proposal deadline; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP in April 2026 with an April 9 deadline; Monroe County (Florida) issued a virtual care services RFP in March 2026 due April 16; San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California) posted a peer support pilot project RFP with a July 2, 2025 deadline; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) sought a medical director through RFP 455 with an October 16, 2025 deadline. The code shows activity across state departments and county health systems but no clear pattern of repeat buying or concentrated procurement volume under this specific classification. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the service-delivery work actually being solicited suggests this code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly within state and local procurement systems.
