UNSPSC 85693836: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right 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 right 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 0PHF3DZ

UNSPSC 85693836 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic hardware implantation—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve the procurement, installation, or supply of orthopedic fixation devices or related surgical implants.

This classification mismatch suggests that either the UNSPSC code assignment is incorrect at the source level or the code is rarely used for actual medical device procurement by state and local bodies. Vendors pursuing orthopedic hardware or surgical implant opportunities in state and local markets should verify classification in specific RFPs rather than relying on this code's current activity pattern. The recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but they reflect administrative, staffing, and benefits management services rather than procurement of medical devices or surgical supplies.
