UNSPSC 85701900: Bones lower extremities-unspecified, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the bones of the lower extremities-unspecified, percutaneous 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 0Q.

UNSPSC 85701900 Bones lower extremities-unspecified, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical taxonomy label does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code, which span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services. These solicitations concern medical program administration, staffing, and service contracting rather than orthopedic procedures or surgical interventions on lower extremities. The issuing bodies include state departments, county human resources and health systems divisions, city retirement offices, and transit authorities—a broad mix across administrative and clinical procurement functions.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (scope: disability medical record summary and physician examination coordination for pension benefit determinations, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 (scope: baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferry system personnel across 14 Washington locations); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be misaligned with its nominal scope and does not reflect meaningful procurement volume in orthopedic or extremity-specific surgical services at the state and local level.
