UNSPSC 85693301: Release left ulna, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left ulna, 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 0PNL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693301 Release left ulna, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with surgical intervention. Instead, the code appears to tag medical evaluation and occupational health surveillance services — disability medical record summary preparation, independent psychiatric and medical examinations, occupational medical surveillance with occupational medicine board certification, and specialty medical care coordination for enrolled populations. This mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and actual buying activity suggests either misclassification in the source data or repurposing of the code to capture broader occupational and disability medical services. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include city retirement boards, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 via RFP RTMRFP26001. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, imaging, and surgical services. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers for emergency, inpatient, and outpatient care for detained youth, with responses due September 25, 2026.
