UNSPSC 85693201: Replacement of left ulna with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ulna with nonautologous tissue 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 0PRL0KZ

UNSPSC 85693201 Replacement of left ulna with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (replacement of the left ulna bone with synthetic material), yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code concern occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve ulna replacement or bone-grafting procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source system or an artifact of how state and local procurement databases tag health services without granular procedure-level alignment to UNSPSC Commodity codes.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), with issuing bodies including county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and state transportation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's stated scope bears no operational relation to the work actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent activity for ulna replacement or orthopedic implant procurement.
