UNSPSC 85703241: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left fibula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left fibula, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0QPK0KZ

UNSPSC 85703241 "Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left fibula, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities solicited are health insurance administration services (pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, occupational medical surveillance), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical care for detained youth. None of these activities involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal. The code appears to be a procedural medical billing or classification code that has been misapplied to health service administration and staffing solicitations by issuing bodies; the mismatch suggests the code is used inconsistently or incorrectly by state and local procurement offices.

The issuing bodies include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, municipal retirement boards, a state transportation department, and a county juvenile probation department—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for a surgical care network and bundled payment program for municipal employees, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical services its nominal scope describes.
