UNSPSC 85704400: Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E

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 85704400 Long bones leg, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The scope mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the UNSPSC classification in this issuing body's procurement system does not reflect the code's clinical intent. State and local governments issuing under this code include county boards, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments—a diverse mix of health care payers, public safety employers, and clinical service providers.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual fire and police officer applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with a two-year base term and optional five additional one-year extensions. Collier County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive, multiple-award Qualified List for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026), including audiology, radiology, therapy, sterile processing, and surgical support. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty hospital-based medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026). The code shows low volume and poor categorical alignment with its nominal scope, signaling limited pursuit opportunity under this particular code designation.
