UNSPSC 85692234: Insertion of internal fixation device into right rib, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right rib, 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 0PH134Z

UNSPSC 85692234, Insertion of internal fixation device into right rib, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no material relationship to surgical instrumentation or orthopedic procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity — the five opportunities on record are for inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and a fire department medical director (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve insertion of internal fixation devices, ribs, or percutaneous surgical approaches. The mislabeling suggests either a data classification error or inconsistent application of UNSPSC codes by the issuing jurisdictions.

Until the code is corrected or recent solicitations actually matching surgical fixation devices appear, this code presents no actionable procurement opportunity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in orthopedic device supply or surgical services.
