UNSPSC 85693121: Reposition right ulna with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right ulna with monoplanar external fixation device, 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 0PSK0BZ

UNSPSC 85693121 Reposition right ulna with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a surgical procedure for repositioning a specific bone using external fixation — does not align with the actual work state and local governments are currently purchasing under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to the code span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these align with orthopedic surgical procedures, and the tagging appears to reflect a mismatch between the code assigned and the services actually solicited.

The geographic spread of these opportunities covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no dominant concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, for $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not show substantive procurement activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical procedure scope.
