UNSPSC 85693455: Destruction of left humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0P5G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693455 Destruction of left humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgical procedures. The source contains six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, and none address surgical destruction or fracture management of the proximal humerus or related orthopedic interventions. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits administration through centers of excellence, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services. This indicates either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code has been repurposed or misapplied by issuing bodies to capture health administration and clinical support services broadly rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of relevant surgical procurement activity and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent opportunities, this code warrants verification of its continued validity for the types of services currently being solicited under its designation.
