UNSPSC 85693665: Replacement of right ulna with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ulna with synthetic substitute, 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 0PRK3JZ

UNSPSC 85693665 Replacement of right ulna with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the opportunities posted under it in the source material span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve ulna replacement or direct surgical procedure procurement.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and the work actually being solicited signals either a cataloging error in the state and local systems or a category applied too broadly to capture general healthcare services. The six recent solicitations listed are issued by diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these opportunities contemplates procurement of a specific surgical implant or procedure line. If your firm pursues state and local healthcare service or staffing work, monitor this code's use with caution — the actual buying pattern does not support the commodity name, and responses should be scoped to the work description in the RFP or RFQ, not the UNSPSC label.
