This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right 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 0PHC38Z

UNSPSC 85693853 Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving external fixation device placement—does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

Recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation, staffing, and benefits administration rather than orthopedic device procurement or surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for pension boards (responses due October 16, 2026). The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services through the Washington State Ferries, encompassing baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington State ferry locations (responses due October 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services (responses due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers to furnish emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code assignment may reflect a data classification error rather than genuine orthopedic device or limb lengthening procurement at the state and local level.
