UNSPSC 85694400: Long bones arm, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the arm with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85694400 Long bones arm, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E is a Class code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure performed on arm bones—does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code in the state and local market. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures on long bones. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to a broad range of healthcare administration, medical staffing, and benefits management services.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health benefits consortia (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination scheduling (response due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's procedural focus and the administrative and staffing services actually being purchased, this code does not provide reliable signals for procurement strategy in orthopedic or surgical instrumentation.
