UNSPSC 85693700: Long bones arm, percutaneous approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the arm with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85693700 Long bones arm, percutaneous approach-part C is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span prison healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction—none of which relate to orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices for the arm. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to these healthcare service solicitations, which fall outside its intended scope of procedural medical devices and surgical supplies.

The source records no recent state and local opportunities that actually procure long-bone arm devices or percutaneous surgical supplies. Issuing bodies across Florida, Georgia, and California have used this code tag for RFPs in correctional healthcare, county employee pharmacy and primary care benefits, peer support services, and municipal emergency medical direction—all administrative or clinical service contracts rather than medical device procurement. Absent concrete evidence of state and local governments soliciting orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, or related consumables under this code, the activity does not support a pursue strategy at this time.
