UNSPSC 85694015: Revision of internal fixation device in left radius, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left radius, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PWJ44Z

UNSPSC 85694015 Revision of internal fixation device in left radius, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgical device procurement or revision surgery services. The posting history reflects instead a mix of occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out network administration — none of which directly correspond to the code's nominal scope of orthopedic implant revision procedures. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all or administrative placeholder for broader healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific device or surgical procedure the code name describes.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings span state transportation and health departments, county procurement and health systems, city retirement offices, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension applicants, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits administration, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for youth in custody, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026) account for the visible activity. Geographic concentration appears in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no standout repeat buyer emerging across the sample. The code shows recent activity but minimal relevance to actual device procurement — business development efforts should verify whether this code truly governs targeted state and local opportunities or whether misclassification warrants attention to alternative UNSPSC categories for surgical device and orthopedic implant sales.
