UNSPSC 85693318: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right ulna, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right ulna, 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 0PHK0DZ

UNSPSC 85693318 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right ulna, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local government procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning August through September 2026—are independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants, surgical devices, ulnar fracture treatment, or the clinical insertion procedures the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement intent is complete. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (for Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System are all using this code to tag health benefits administration, medical staffing, occupational health screening, and benefit program management—none of which involve procurement or deployment of medical devices. This code does not appear to be an active vehicle for state and local government purchase of orthopedic fixation hardware or related surgical consumables.
