UNSPSC 85702600: Long bones foot, open approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the foot 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 85702600 Long bones foot, open approach is a Class code nominally aligned with orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services on foot bones. Instead, the opportunities demonstrate that this code is being used to tag a broad range of occupational health, disability evaluation, and employee health benefit services — including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions — a fragmented set of public employers and healthcare purchasers rather than surgical specialists.

Recent opportunities are scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, scored primarily on cost (40 percent) and capability (60 percent). The City of Long Beach posted RFP HR26753 on August 26, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence management covering approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The code shows substantial activity but a notable mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC scope and the actual services being solicited, suggesting either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for occupational and employee health services that do not fit more specific classifications.
