UNSPSC 85694113: Reposition right ulna with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right ulna with external fixation device, 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 0PSK45Z

UNSPSC 85694113 Reposition right ulna with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. The five most recent solicitations — from Muscogee County Prison (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are procurement requests for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations are seeking orthopedic surgical devices, external fixation equipment, or procedure-related supplies. The code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than a reflection of actual procurement intent under this Commodity code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities posted under it is significant: state and local governments show no recent purchasing activity for the surgical procedure or device this code describes. Bidders evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code should recognize that it does not currently reflect actual healthcare procurement by state and local jurisdictions in the available record. Any business development decision should rest on direct engagement with the specific issuing body and verification of the actual scope of work being solicited, rather than reliance on the UNSPSC code as a reliable category signal.
