UNSPSC 85693918: Excision of right humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right humeral head, 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 0PBC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693918 "Excision of right humeral head, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this code's surgical scope. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, employer health plan carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), reflecting typical state and local healthcare administration and employee benefits procurement.

Recent opportunities under this code occur across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting public safety pension disability determinations with a five-year contract cap of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year base term and optional five-year extension; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than an active procurement category for orthopedic surgery services; vendors evaluating this code should treat the categorization as unreliable and focus activity instead on the healthcare administration and occupational medicine opportunities actually being solicited.
