This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right humeral head, 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 0PWC34Z

UNSPSC 85693540 Revision of internal fixation device in right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara) — are all healthcare administration, occupational health, or staffing services unrelated to orthopedic surgical implant revision procedures. None of these solicitations involve procurement of humeral head fixation devices, revision hardware, or any surgical implants; the code's taxonomy does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation.

State and local procurement bodies do not routinely solicit orthopedic implant devices through public RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs. When such purchases occur, they are typically embedded in larger hospital supply contracts, group purchasing organization (GPO) agreements, or vendor-direct arrangements negotiated outside formal solicitation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the administrative and clinical services being tagged suggests this code is either misapplied in the source data or reflects minimal purchasing activity in the state and local market.
