UNSPSC 85693204: Replacement of right ulna with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0PRK0KZ

UNSPSC 85693204 Replacement of right ulna with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to that scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic ulna replacement. This code mismatch indicates that the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure scope.

State and local issuing bodies—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are actively soliciting health services and staffing under various UNSPSC codes, but the medical procedure code itself does not appear to be a functional classification vehicle for state and local procurement in this category. Bidders evaluating this code should treat it as presently inactive for state and local contract pursuit.
