This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right humeral shaft with synthetic 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 0PRF0JZ

UNSPSC 85693217 Replacement of right humeral shaft with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical definition. Instead, the opportunities solicited under the code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve humeral shaft replacement or related orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the breadth of health services opportunities suggests this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities have been tagged incorrectly in the source data. State and local health systems and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies, including county health departments, municipal retirement boards, juvenile detention authorities, and county commissioners' offices.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (statewide via the Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, total contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgery benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated orthopedic procedure definition.
