UNSPSC 85704000: Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the long bones of the leg with percutaneous endoscopic 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 85704000 Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part A is a Class code showing minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations concern occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employees and beneficiaries—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures on long bones via percutaneous endoscopic technique. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to administrative and clinical staffing needs rather than to the medical device, implant, or procedure service line the code's name suggests. State and local procurement activity under this code does not currently reflect purchases of the orthopedic surgical goods or services the UNSPSC taxonomy nominates.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including municipal (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county (Collier County, Harris County), state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health system entities (County of Santa Clara Health System). The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the only recent solicitations with relevance to occupational or disability medical assessment. No recent opportunities document actual procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures, devices, or services matching the code's stated focus. Geographic activity appears spread across California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but reflects administrative healthcare and staffing needs rather than the orthopedic procedural or product scope UNSPSC 85704000 describes.
