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 85693500 Long bones arm, percutaneous approach-part A is a Class code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal orthopedic-surgical scope. Instead, the solicitations reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, healthcare benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve surgical or percutaneous procedures on long bones. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity suggests this code carries limited relevant procurement signal for vendors in orthopedic device or surgical services.

The identified opportunities span three states and multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical benefits carve-out, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, with historical pharmacy spending of $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned to orthopedic procurement.
