UNSPSC 85693123: Reposition right ulna with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right ulna with 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 0PSK05Z

UNSPSC 85693123 Reposition right ulna with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted include inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit management administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, ulna repositioning, external fixation devices, or open surgical approaches. The code appears to be a mismatch for the work being bought, and state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect its stated commodity definition.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a consolidated city government (Columbus, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. The five most recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 show no consistent pattern of orthopedic surgical procurement and suggest either a systematic coding error across multiple jurisdictions or a data-quality issue within the UNSPSC assignment process for these solicitations.
