UNSPSC 85694350: Insertion of intramedullary internal 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 intramedullary internal 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 0PHF46Z

UNSPSC 85694350 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right humeral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—internal fixation of a humeral fracture using an intramedullary device and endoscopic technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical implants or related devices. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to classify services such as independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and other municipal and county agencies. This misalignment between the code's procedural-surgical descriptor and the actual goods and services being procured suggests either data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is being repurposed administratively to capture broader medical services spending outside its intended scope.

Recent opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories such as radiology, audiology, and operating room services (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an estimated $8.7 million annual historical spend (due April 9, 2026, now closed). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, firms pursuing state and local contracts in orthopedic surgical implants or internal fixation devices should verify whether opportunities are tagged under this code or seek procurement officers' clarification before bidding.
