UNSPSC 85695100: Long bones hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the hand 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 85695100 Long bones hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part A is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic hand surgery. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or as a default classification by issuing bodies whose procurement systems lack precision for healthcare services taxonomy.

The opportunities that do appear under the code originate from a diverse set of issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington, and California, with scattered Texas and Florida engagement. The code's inconsistent application and lack of direct relevance to the actual hand surgery procedure it nominally describes makes it an unreliable indicator of procurement opportunity; business development efforts under this code should focus on the specific healthcare service category (occupational medicine, pension disability evaluation, or health staffing) rather than the surgical-procedure title.
