UNSPSC 85704600: Sesamoid bones, open approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the sesamoid bones with open 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 85704600 Sesamoid bones, open approach is a Class code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. Those opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve sesamoid bone procedures or related surgical interventions.

The mismatch between the code's title and actual buying suggests either classification error at the issuing body level or a data-tagging anomaly in the source. The opportunities posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System represent broad healthcare administration and occupational health procurement rather than orthopedic surgery. Firms evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should verify the code assignment directly with issuing bodies before developing a response strategy.
