UNSPSC 85693849: Insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, 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 0PHD34Z

UNSPSC 85693849, Insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving hardware implantation into the shoulder, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect administrative and operational health services — medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, youth detention medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the procurement or implantation of orthopedic fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either coding error in the source records or use of this code as a fallback category for health-services procurement broadly, rather than procurement of the specific device or procedure the code name denotes. State and local issuers posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile authorities, and county commissioners' offices.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) on September 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026, at a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (RFP20260825) on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) on August 26, 2026, for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out services under its employee health plan, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural title and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, pursue under this code with caution — verify with issuing bodies whether coded opportunities reflect genuine device or implant procurement before committing business development resources.
