UNSPSC 85693670: Replacement of right radius with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right radius with nonautologous tissue 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 0PRH3KZ

UNSPSC 85693670 Replacement of right radius with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical implant replacement work; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across multiple solicitations, and does not reflect a coherent procurement category for state and local buyers.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large municipal employers (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissioners offices (Collier County), and county probation departments (Harris County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Due to the code's apparent misapplication across diverse healthcare administration and staffing services rather than orthopedic implant replacement, this code merits careful scope verification before pursuit.
