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 minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedures on sesamoid bones—does not match the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it in the source material. The recent postings focus instead on healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, peer support services, and medical director oversight—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or sesamoid bone treatment. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or that this code is being used as a fallback classification for healthcare-related work that does not fit orthopedic procurement categories.

The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code span Florida, Georgia, and California and include RFPs from the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, deadline April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care services, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health (peer support for peer workers pilot project under MHSA Innovation funding of $580,000, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department (EMS medical director services, due October 16, 2025). None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic services the code nominally describes. Buyers seeking actual sesamoid bone or related orthopedic surgical procurement would benefit from verifying the correct UNSPSC classification before relying on this code for market intelligence.
