UNSPSC 85704403: Extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QCH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704403 Extirpation of matter from left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities posted show no purchases of orthopedic surgical procedures or related medical devices. Instead, the code has captured solicitations for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — activities that span occupational medicine, benefits administration, clinical procurement, and health system operations rather than the specific surgical procedure the code name describes. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly by issuing bodies, or the taxonomy entry itself does not reflect how state and local procurement offices use this classification.

Activity under this code spans multiple states and issuing-body types with no clear concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit management due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and health systems. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code name and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors pursuing contracts aligned with the code's stated scope.
