UNSPSC 85693677: Replacement of right humeral shaft with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right humeral shaft 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 0PRF3JZ

UNSPSC 85693677, Replacement of right humeral shaft with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity), describes a specific surgical procedure code that does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, healthcare staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures or implant procurement. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of healthcare administration and staffing solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope.

State and local health agencies, county retirement boards, and transit authorities are the issuing bodies active in these health services areas, with recent activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The misalignment between the Commodity code's clinical procedure focus and these health administration, staffing, and surveillance services suggests this code does not represent an active procurement category for state and local buyers. Vendors pursuing health services opportunities should verify the actual UNSPSC classification before bid preparation, as the coding mismatch may signal process or database errors on the buyer's side.
