UNSPSC 85704200: Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C

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 85704200 Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a surgical procedure code—and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic surgery, leg procedures, or endoscopic techniques; the code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a reflection of genuine procurement intent in this domain.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county retirement offices, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services with proposals due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity is scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the health services and staffing work actually being solicited, this code warrants review as either a data-entry error or a category in need of reclassification within procurement systems.
