UNSPSC 85693673: Replacement of left humeral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left humeral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0PRG3KZ

UNSPSC 85693673 (Replacement of left humeral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative health services and staffing procurement, not orthopedic surgical procedures or implant supply. The code's nominal description (a specific surgical procedure and implant) does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this classification.

State and local procurement offices do not ordinarily solicit individual surgical procedures or implants through RFP or RFQ; hospitals and health systems typically procure implants and surgical supplies through group purchasing organizations, direct vendor relationships, or health system supply contracts. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the administrative health services work appearing in recent opportunities suggests either a data tagging error or that this code is not in active use for state and local procurement. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service or product before investing in business development effort.
