UNSPSC 85693413: Excision of left radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693413 Excision of left radius, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect surgical intervention. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability determinations, specialty surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, emergency and inpatient medical services for youth in custody, temporary health professional staffing, and pharmacy benefit management. The scope divergence suggests either systematic code misapplication in state and local systems or that the code has drifted from its clinical specificity. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile probation departments—a mixed set of administrative and operational healthcare purchasers rather than medical facilities or surgical providers.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians and delivery within 60 days. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services supporting approximately 75 annual public safety disability applications, with a maximum $750,000 five-year contract term. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 on August 26, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical centers of excellence coordination covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical services. Code misalignment with actual solicitation scope signals that pursuit decisions should rest on recent opportunity content rather than code name alone.
