UNSPSC 85704414: Excision of right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0QBG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704414 Excision of right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, specialty surgical procedure carve-out management for municipal health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to healthcare services procurement. State and local issuers using this code in recent months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (serving fire and police pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System, indicating that health plan administration and occupational health vendors are the primary targets rather than surgical providers.

Recent representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional activity in Texas and Florida. The code's misalignment with the opportunities it tags suggests exercising caution before pursuing work under this code heading; vendors should verify actual scope against individual solicitations rather than relying on the code name.
