UNSPSC 85693362: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral head, 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 head, 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 0PHC0BZ

UNSPSC 85693362 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code in the source material span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic device insertion or direct surgical procedure procurement in the conventional sense. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), suggesting broad cross-sector classification under this code; however, the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding or that this code has been repurposed within the relevant procurement systems for administrative or operational healthcare services rather than device or procedure acquisition.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating the sample. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year initial term plus optional extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the persistent gap between the code's surgical-device nomenclature and the administrative or clinical staffing and benefits-management work actually being solicited, this code represents either a data quality issue within state and local procurement systems or a categorical artifact with minimal relevance to device, implant, or direct surgical-procedure procurement.
