UNSPSC 85693262: Removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0PPG0JZ

UNSPSC 85693262 Removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral shaft, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's procedural medical description does not match the scope of recent opportunities solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, and information requests for specialty medical services in youth detention settings. None of these activities involve orthopedic implant removal or surgical procedures on the humeral shaft. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of administrative health-benefits purchasing, occupational health contracting, and clinical staffing or care-network development.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (multiple ancillary clinical categories) due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in source records or that this Commodity code does not see substantive recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical descriptor.
