UNSPSC 85693200: Long bones arm, open approach-part C

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 85693200, Long bones arm, open approach—part C, is a Class code that carries a medical procedural taxonomy designation but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with orthopedic surgical services. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which map to orthopedic long-bone procedures or surgical implant supply. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted opportunities under this code between July and September 2026, but their actual scopes address disability medical record review, occupational medicine compliance, employee health benefits administration, emergency youth detention care, and clinical temp staffing placement. None solicits orthopedic supplies, instrumentation, or surgical component services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities indicates either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and real buying behavior under this Class code. Business development professionals evaluating whether to pursue activity here should treat this code as dormant for orthopedic procedural supply and staffing support. The opportunities currently tagged to 85693200 are genuinely available but require capabilities in medical administration, employee health plan management, occupational medicine oversight, and clinical labor deployment—not orthopedic manufacturing or supply chain functions. If your firm operates in those adjacent health services domains, the individual opportunities (particularly the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026) may merit pursuit; otherwise, the code itself offers no signal for orthopedic or surgical procedural procurement at state and local level.
