UNSPSC 85694201: Repair left ulna, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left ulna, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PQL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85694201 Repair left ulna, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve orthopedic ulna repair or the procedural coding systems that drive medical billing taxonomy. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all classification for health-related services procurement rather than to flag procurement of a specific surgical intervention. State and local issuers posting health-related RFPs — including city retirement boards, county human resources divisions, state departments, and health systems — do not typically disaggregate procurement by individual surgical codes; they solicit broader service categories such as medical evaluation networks, managed care programs, and staffing.

Recent activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington shows that state and local health procurement under this code designator focuses on medical administration and network services rather than procedure-specific contracting. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline and a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 response deadline; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services for 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and an April 9, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 submission date. The code's application to these solicitations suggests that state and local procurement systems may be using UNSPSC medical procedure codes as default classifiers for health services RFPs where more granular taxonomy is unavailable or unused.
