UNSPSC 85693035: Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral head, 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 head, 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 0PWD04Z

UNSPSC 85693035 Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code that carries no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three opportunities posted under this code over the past three months—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services solicitation, the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's youth detention medical services RFI, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services, and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing—are all anchored in healthcare administration, benefit plan management, occupational health compliance, or clinical staffing rather than orthopedic implant procurement or revision surgery services. The code's nominal scope—surgical revision of a humeral head fracture fixation device—does not align with what these issuing bodies are actually buying.

The mismatch suggests that either the code was applied in error during state and local procurement system data entry or that the taxonomy does not capture the administrative or staffing nature of these solicitations. Vendors pursuing state and local orthopedic implant or surgical device contracts should monitor codes more directly aligned with medical device supply, hospital procurement, or surgical facility purchasing rather than rely on activity under this Commodity code. The lack of relevant recent opportunities here is a signal to watch other UNSPSC families covering medical devices, surgical supplies, or healthcare facility capital equipment.
