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

UNSPSC 85694356 Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with that scope. The six recent opportunities posted since July 2026 involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern orthopedic device insertion or limb lengthening procedures. The code appears to see minimal or misclassified activity in state and local procurement, and the recent opportunities do not support a coherent market characterization under the code's stated Commodity definition.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not support active, relevant state and local procurement activity in its stated domain.
