UNSPSC 85693614: Reposition right ulna with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right ulna with internal fixation device, 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 0PSK34Z

UNSPSC 85693614 (Reposition right ulna with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code is titled to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical services or internal fixation devices. Instead, state and local bodies have tagged the code to solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention healthcare — none of which involve repositioning of the ulna or percutaneous orthopedic fixation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices currently apply it to healthcare-related services.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and two municipalities with employee health benefit programs (City of Long Beach and Collier County). Recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread covers Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. The lack of orthopedic surgical procedure activity suggests this code may warrant reassessment for relevance to firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracting.
