UNSPSC 85694222: Removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, 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 0PPJ4JZ

UNSPSC 85694222 Removal of synthetic substitute from left radius, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under it — spanning August through September 2026 — solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities request the orthopedic implant removal procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for healthcare and medical services broadly rather than as a procedure-specific Commodity code.

The recent activity does reflect genuine state and local demand for occupational health services, independent medical evaluations for public employee disability determinations, specialty surgical networks, and clinical staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, city retirement systems, county health systems, and county human services agencies. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. However, because the code's nominal scope bears no relationship to what is actually being solicited, interpreting this code as a purchasing signal for medical services or staffing is unreliable — pursue opportunities only through direct market monitoring of specific jurisdictions and solicitation types rather than relying on this code to surface relevant work.
