UNSPSC 85693641: Reposition right humeral shaft with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right humeral shaft with external fixation device, 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 0PSF35Z

UNSPSC 85693641 Reposition right humeral shaft with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a far broader scope of health services procurement: occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, city retirement boards, and county juvenile justice authorities. The work being purchased ranges from occupational health examinations for ferry system workers to disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees to specialty surgical carve-out programs for municipal employees—a collection of services connected by venue (government employment and detention) rather than by a single clinical procedure.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across multiple states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFQ, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026). The code shows no coherent alignment with its nominal commodity definition; the UNSPSC classification mismatch suggests that this code is either misapplied by these issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit neatly elsewhere in the taxonomy. Contractors pursuing work under this code should expect contract values ranging from small staff-augmentation arrangements through mid-market programs (Phoenix's independent medical evaluation contract is structured at $750,000 over five years; Santa Clara's temporary staffing is a non-exclusive qualified vendor list with no guaranteed volume) and should verify the specific health services scope in each notice rather than relying on the code name.
