UNSPSC 85693337: Insertion of external fixation device into right radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right radius, 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 0PHH05Z

UNSPSC 85693337 Insertion of external fixation device into right radius, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code from a clinical taxonomy, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency youth detention medical services, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical insertion procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or conflation of the UNSPSC code with a healthcare service category outside the code's intended scope.

The opportunities that do post under this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits for employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals and worksites (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the categorical misalignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body.
