UNSPSC 85693842: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0PHF34Z

UNSPSC 85693842, Insertion of internal fixation device into right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. Recent opportunities solicited under this UNSPSC designation include independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves orthopedic surgical implants or fracture fixation devices. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the issuing bodies and contracting opportunities recorded against it reflect broader administrative and operational health services procurement by state departments, counties, and health systems.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged at submission or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local health-services procurement practice. Recent solicitations posting under this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit program, RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms positioned to supply orthopedic implants or surgical devices to state and local health systems.
