UNSPSC 85694348: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right humeral shaft, 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 0PHF4BZ

UNSPSC 85694348, a Commodity code nominally describing insertion of monoplanar external fixation devices into right humeral shaft via percutaneous endoscopic approach, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which concern orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors selling or performing the orthopedic device insertion work the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state transportation and health system agencies, county human services and procurement departments, and municipal retirement offices across multiple states including Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Absent a misclassification correction or broader scope alignment, business development professionals pursuing opportunities nominally coded to orthopedic device insertion should verify the UNSPSC coding with each issuing body before responding.
