UNSPSC 85693319: Insertion of ring 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 ring 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 0PHK0CZ

UNSPSC 85693319 (Insertion of ring external fixation device into right ulna, open approach) is a Commodity code that represents a highly specialized orthopedic surgical procedure—yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code reflect no actual procurement of that device or related surgical implants. Instead, the opportunities address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement without device or implant relevance. State and local issuing bodies identified include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a mix of municipal, county, state, and health authority buyers with no standout repeat focus on orthopedic surgical devices or procedures.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit assessments for 75 annual public safety retirement cases; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across ancillary clinical categories including orthopedic services. The code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical implants or external fixation device procurement, and pursuing opportunities under this code requires clarifying with issuing bodies whether the tagging reflects their actual procurement intent or represents a classification system error.
