UNSPSC 85693300: Long bones arm, open approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the arm with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85693300 Long bones arm, open approach-part D is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities in the source material. The code nominally references orthopedic surgical procedures on the arm, yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which constitute orthopedic surgical procedures or related medical device procurement. The mismatch suggests this code is either mistagged in state and local procurement systems or sees little relevant activity in current state and local markets.

The recent opportunities identified under this code span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix (disability pension medical evaluations), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Collier County (pharmacy benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing), and the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits management)—a profile of municipal, county, and state health and administrative procurement rather than orthopedic surgery or device supply. If your firm pursues this code, validate the UNSPSC assignment in any RFP or RFQ you encounter, as the recent activity does not support the code's stated scope.
