UNSPSC 85691408: Revision of internal fixation device in right glenoid cavity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right glenoid cavity, external 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 0PW7X4Z

UNSPSC 85691408 Revision of internal fixation device in right glenoid cavity, external approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical device revision procedures; however, the recent opportunities tagged to it do not involve procurement of internal fixation devices, orthopedic implants, or surgical revision services. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks. None of these solicitations involve purchase or revision of orthopedic devices or surgeon-performed procedures aligned with the code's nominal description.

The issuing bodies include city retirement boards, state departments of transportation, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the recent opportunities, it appears the code has been applied to medical and health-related procurement more broadly rather than to the specific device and procedure category it nominally describes. State and local procurement professionals should verify the code's accurate application or consider whether activity in this taxonomy tier reflects genuine market demand for internal fixation device revisions in the public sector.
