UNSPSC 85693722: Removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, 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 0PPJ3JZ

UNSPSC 85693722 Removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity associated with it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent solicitations tagged under this code solicit medical administrative services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve surgical removal of prosthetics or radius procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error within the state and local procurement system or deliberate but undocumented use of this surgical code as a catch-all for healthcare service procurement that bears no relationship to its procedural title.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability benefit medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (inpatient and emergency services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include RFP 25-8414 from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spend near $8.7 million (proposals due April 9, 2026), and RFP20260825 from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the administrative or occupational health services actually being procured, this code appears to carry little relevance to firms pursuing state and local healthcare delivery or procedure-focused work.
