UNSPSC 85693813 Insertion of external fixation device into right ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC classification do not involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, mental health peer support programs, and fire department medical director services — none of which align with the insertion of external fixation devices into bone.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local purchasing offices for the work they are currently buying. Business development professionals should verify code assignment before committing resources to opportunities tagged under this classification.
