UNSPSC 85703903: Extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous 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 0QCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703903 Extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between the code's medical-procedure nomenclature and the state and local opportunities actually posted under it. Recent solicitations tag this code against independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency care — none of which involve orthopedic surgical intervention on the tibia. The code appears to be a procedural classification from a clinical taxonomy that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to administrative health services, disability benefit administration, and occupational medicine contracts rather than actual surgical procedures.

State and local governments posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county government consortia (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applicants at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and surgical support services. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category for state and local buyers and presents limited strategic value as a filtering mechanism for orthopedic or surgical services.
