UNSPSC 85693810: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right ulna, 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 0PHK3BZ

UNSPSC 85693810 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its clinical-procedure nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical supplies or devices; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. This mismatch indicates the code is either misapplied in the source jurisdictions' tagging systems or represents an archival remnant from a prior coding iteration that no longer reflects current buying patterns.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government agencies (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city retirement and health benefit offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations and requiring board certification in occupational medicine; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year term; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing vendor-qualification solicitation due October 7, 2026, seeking temporary clinicians across thirteen ancillary specialties excluding nursing and physicians. The code shows no relevant recent activity in orthopedic device procurement and should be deprioritized unless the source records are corrected to reflect actual commodity assignments.
