UNSPSC 85704700: Sesamoid bones, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the sesamoid bones with percutaneous 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 85704700 Sesamoid bones, percutaneous approach is a Class code with significant scope mismatch between its abstract medical taxonomy label and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities solicited under this code do not involve orthopedic procedures, bone surgery, or percutaneous interventions; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these solicitations, and the category shows no substantive recent procurement activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

State and local issuers posting opportunities tagged with this code include county health systems, county pension boards, transit authorities, juvenile probation departments, and municipal benefits offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical record review and independent medical examination services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out and Center of Excellence network (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary ancillary clinical staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying database or that this code is not the appropriate classification vehicle for the work being purchased by these jurisdictions.
