UNSPSC 85693025: Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, 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 0PWG04Z

UNSPSC 85693025 (Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, open approach), a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—orthopedic surgical devices and procedures—and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve revision of humeral shaft fixation devices or related orthopedic implants and supplies. Instead, the code is being used by issuing bodies to tag healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services that are functionally unrelated to surgical device procurement or use.

State and local issuing bodies applying this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County). The specific solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance services (WSDOT, due October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation and record-review services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix, due October 16, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, therapy, and operating room support (Santa Clara County Health System, due October 7, 2026), Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach, due October 7, 2026), and specialty hospital and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, due September 25, 2026). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or region. The code appears to be a taxonomy misapplication—procurement professionals should verify that humeral shaft fixation devices and related orthopedic implants are being sourced under a more narrowly targeted code before pursuing opportunities under this tag.
