UNSPSC 85693912: Excision of right ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right ulna, 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 0PBK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693912 Excision of right ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but shows minimal relevance to actual health care contracting activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to it involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for fire departments — none of which center on orthopedic surgical procedures or ulnar excision. State and local governments do procure healthcare services under various UNSPSC codes, but this particular code does not map to the scope of work being actively solicited in the opportunities posted to it.

The mismatch between code definition and procurement reality signals either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement systems issuing these opportunities or an artifact of how some jurisdictions assign UNSPSC tags. Recent activity includes an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care for approximately 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS (peer support services for peer workers, $580,000 over three years), and Santa Monica Fire Department (physician medical director, due October 16, 2025). Geographic spread includes California, Florida, and Georgia. Business development professionals evaluating this code should flag the categorization issue with procurement offices directly and may find more actionable signals by searching state and local opportunities under broader healthcare services codes that better reflect the types of contracts actually being issued.
