UNSPSC 85693251: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left radius, 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 0PPJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85693251 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left radius, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to the code's clinical name. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue removal or orthopedic surgery. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied or repurposed in the state and local procurement systems to capture general health services procurement that does not logically fit the code's surgical-procedure definition.

The issuing bodies reflect a typical state and local health procurement mix: a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county boards and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years commencing February 3, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and appears to be a data-quality issue rather than an active commodity category for business development purposes.
