UNSPSC 85693829: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left humeral shaft, 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 0PHG3DZ

UNSPSC 85693829 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical implant procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or percutaneous humeral procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that state and local healthcare procurement offices are applying this medical procedure code as a catch-all category for health services contracting rather than for the discrete implant and surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

No recent state and local opportunities reflect actual procurement of hybrid external fixation devices or related orthopedic surgical implants under this code. The issuing bodies represented—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are seeking healthcare administrative services, staffing, and medical management programs rather than surgical devices or orthopedic hardware. Until opportunities explicitly soliciting orthopedic implants, fixation systems, or related surgical supplies appear under this code, the category should be considered dormant for procurement targeting purposes at the state and local level.
