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

UNSPSC 85694351, Insertion of external fixation device into right humeral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The code's abstract description refers to a specific surgical implant and technique for humeral fracture fixation; the opportunities posted under it track instead to occupational health programs, pension administration, health plan administration, and staffing procurement, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a persistent mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual purchasing behavior at these agencies.

The opportunities originate across multiple states and issuing bodies: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic clustering is absent; issuing bodies range from state transportation departments to county health systems to municipal pension boards. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, evaluation weighting 30% organizational capacity, 40% method of approach, 20% reporting, 10% cost), and the Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted scoring at 40 percent). Vendors pursuing work under this code should treat the Commodity designation as misapplied to the actual procurement activity and instead evaluate opportunities within occupational health, health plan administration, and medical staffing functions across state agencies, counties, and municipal health systems.
