UNSPSC 85692232: Insertion of internal fixation device into right scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right scapula, 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 0PH534Z

UNSPSC 85692232 Insertion of internal fixation device into right scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most-recent opportunities tagged to this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department) — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor from a medical taxonomy that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to general healthcare contracting. This mismatch signals either a data-quality issue in the source opportunities or a significant misclassification at the point of solicitation posting.

State and local buyers do procure medical equipment and supplies, including orthopedic hardware, but the recent-opportunities block does not surface any solicitations for internal fixation devices, scapular implants, or related surgical inventory under this code. Firms evaluating whether to pursue activity in orthopedic device supply to state and local healthcare systems, correctional facilities, or emergency services should monitor codes aligned with medical device distribution and surgical supplies rather than clinical procedure codes. If orthopedic fixation devices are actually being procured by the jurisdictions in the source block, they are being tagged under a different UNSPSC classification.
