This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right humeral head, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85693855 Insertion of external fixation device into right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are actually soliciting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve external fixation devices or humeral head procedures. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the broad healthcare administration and staffing services being purchased suggests systematic misalignment in how state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities.

The issuing bodies span counties (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating fragmentation across issuing-body types with no repeat buyers in the recent set. Geographic activity includes California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing in 13 ancillary health professional categories excluding nursing and physicians. The code's nominal scope does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation.
