UNSPSC 85693348: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral shaft, 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 0PHF0BZ

UNSPSC 85693348 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under it. The opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve procurement of orthopedic fixation devices or orthopedic implants for open surgical repair.

The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific title and the diversity of medical services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the state and local level or a data quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged to this Commodity code. State and local buyers seeking actual orthopedic devices, implants, or related surgical supplies would typically appear under a different code hierarchy focused on medical devices or surgical supplies rather than a procedure-specific code. Without recent opportunities that genuinely align with insertion of external fixation devices, this code does not present a clear procurement pursuit opportunity at this time.
