UNSPSC 85702200: Irregular lower bones, open approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the irregular lower bones 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 0Q.

UNSPSC 85702200 Irregular lower bones, open approach is a Class code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure taxonomy label and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical or orthopedic procedures on lower-extremity bones. Instead, state and local agencies are using the code to classify occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies span a mix of city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county government human resources and health systems (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for medical-administration and occupational-health services that do not fit more specific orthopedic or procedural categories, though the tagging suggests data-quality or taxonomy-matching gaps rather than a coherent commodity family.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent opportunities posted across July through September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation with pre-bid conference August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume). A business development professional reviewing this code should verify that the work matches your service offering; the code's current tagging does not reliably predict orthopedic or surgical-procedure opportunities in state and local markets.
