UNSPSC 85694700: Long bones hand, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the hand with open 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 85694700 Long bones hand, open approach–part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure classification and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing placement, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve orthopedic surgical procedures on hand bones. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems and probation departments, cities managing employee benefit programs, and county purchasing offices—a broad jurisdictional mix reflecting employee health, correctional health, and occupational safety spending rather than orthopedic surgery procurement.

Recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Puget Sound locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety pension applicants with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees enrolled in an Anthem PPO plan with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of hand bone surgical procedures or related orthopedic consumables and devices.
