This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right radius, open approach.

UNSPSC 85693019 Revision of external fixation device in right radius, open approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement shows little recent activity aligned with the code's nominal medical device scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgical benefits and pharmacy management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic devices, external fixation hardware, or surgical revision procedures. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the jurisdictions' procurement systems or that this code has been broadly applied to miscellaneous health services outside its intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan (due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026). Because the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement of the device or service described in the code's title, pursuing this code at face value is not recommended without first clarifying whether the jurisdictions' procurement systems have applied the code correctly to a different work scope.
