UNSPSC 85693506: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right ulna, percutaneous 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 0PWK3KZ

UNSPSC 85693506, Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right ulna, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation employees, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical procedure networks — none of which involve tissue revision or orthopedic surgery. The code appears to be a procedural classification that has been misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing solicitations, creating a mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual procurement activity occurring under it.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and government types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for Anthem PPO, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation via Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, RFP due April 9, 2026 but posting date August 20, 2026 suggests timing discrepancy), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing pool, RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity concentrates in California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. The code does not meaningfully signal procurement of the clinical service it nominally describes, and vendors should verify code assignment in actual opportunity documents before committing pursuit resources.
