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 little relevant recent activity. The code nominally addresses surgical procedures involving the tibia and fibula, but the state and local opportunities posted under this classification span inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that the taxonomy does not capture the healthcare service categories state and local buyers are actually using when soliciting medical and behavioral health contracts.

The recent opportunities originating from Georgia, Florida, and California span county prison systems, county human resources and health consortiums, county boards of commissioners, county behavioral health departments, and city fire departments. No standout repeat buyers appear in the dataset. Geographic activity is dispersed across at least three states with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County, Florida's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's ostensible scope and the healthcare administration and service delivery contracts actually being procured, this code does not appear to be a reliable signal for identifying orthopedic or surgical procurement activity at the state and local level.
