UNSPSC 85693525: Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, percutaneous 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 0PWG34Z

UNSPSC 85693525 Revision of internal fixation device in left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's specific clinical descriptor names a single orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical implant placement or revision. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement bodies are tagging medical services and administrative healthcare support activities with an implant-specific UNSPSC code, likely due to misclassification in their taxonomic systems or use of a catch-all medical devices code when healthcare services should be categorized elsewhere. The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices and pension boards (Phoenix), municipal healthcare purchasers (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), indicating fragmented purchasing across administrative, clinical, and public safety healthcare contexts.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix retirement services), California (Long Beach surgical benefit program, Santa Clara temporary staffing), Washington State (ferries occupational surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention services), with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The code shows active procurement volume but does not represent genuine orthopedic surgical implant demand at the state and local level.
