UNSPSC 85682133: Insertion of internal fixation device into left lacrimal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left lacrimal bone, 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 0NHJ44Z

UNSPSC 85682133 Insertion of internal fixation device into left lacrimal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure title and the medical services state and local governments are actually procuring. Recent solicitations under this code do not reflect orthopedic or otolaryngological device insertion; instead, issuing bodies are buying occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency care for youth in custody. None of these activities involves lacrimal bone fixation devices or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to medical services opportunities that fall outside its intended scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems and juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies. Because the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect the code's nominal scope, the code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement in surgical device placement or orthopedic fixation services. Procurement professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether these opportunities were correctly classified before allocating pursuit resources.
