UNSPSC 85693108: Resection of right humeral head, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right humeral head, 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 0PTC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693108 Resection of right humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows no alignment with this clinical taxonomy. The code appears to have been misapplied or tagged in error across state and local procurement databases. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic resection procedures or align with operative codes used in clinical billing systems.

Geographic and issuing-body activity reflects broad state and local healthcare administration rather than surgical procedure procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System represent the range of issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, RFP20260825), the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization (due October 16, 2026, RTMRFP26001), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, RFSQHHSFY270052). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope and warrants reclassification review in state and local procurement databases.
