UNSPSC 85691206: Insertion of bone growth stimulator into upper bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of bone growth stimulator into upper bone, percutaneous 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 0PHY3MZ

UNSPSC 85691206 Insertion of bone growth stimulator into upper bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve bone growth stimulators, orthopedic surgical procedures, or the medical device and procedural work the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either tagging error or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health services and medical management contracts that do not fit the orthopedic device and surgical intervention domain the code is designed to capture.

Because the recent opportunities reflect healthcare administration, benefit management, and clinical services delivery rather than bone growth stimulator procurement or insertion procedures, this code carries minimal signal for firms focused on orthopedic devices, surgical supplies, or bone-healing products. Monitor whether future opportunities in this code reflect genuine procurement of the device and procedure it names, or whether the mislabeling continues—either outcome would inform whether pursuing opportunities under this code is worthwhile.
