UNSPSC 85691504: Revision of internal fixation device in left glenoid cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left glenoid cavity, open 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 0PW804Z

UNSPSC 85691504 Revision of internal fixation device in left glenoid cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are health administration and staffing services unrelated to orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. State and local buyers appear to be mislabeling health services and staffing solicitations with this device-specific code, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual procurement tagging.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices, city employee benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — a geographically dispersed set of public employers and health authorities. Because the underlying opportunities do not reflect genuine demand for the product or service named in the code, the procurement pattern does not signal actionable activity for vendors in the orthopedic implant or surgical services space. A business development professional evaluating this code should flag the tagging error to the source system and redirect focus to health administration and staffing codes where these opportunities belong.
