This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral shaft, 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 0PPG0KZ

UNSPSC 85693261 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic tissue removal, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, state and local bodies are using this code to solicit broader occupational health, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which align with the code's stated procedure scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span multiple government jurisdictions including city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city personnel offices (Long Beach). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million), 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 (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's assignment to these opportunities appears inconsistent with standard UNSPSC classification; business development professionals should verify code accuracy with the issuing jurisdiction before pursuing opportunities posted under this category.
