UNSPSC 85694359: Insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, 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 0PHD44Z

UNSPSC 85694359 Insertion of internal fixation device into left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local issuing bodies span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or humeral fixation surgery. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how these opportunities were tagged or a systematic misclassification of healthcare services under an implant-specific commodity code.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris), county government agencies (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city health plans (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Florida, Washington State, and Texas. Given the lack of alignment between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, this code does not present a clear market signal for vendors pursuing orthopedic device sales or surgical services to state and local buyers. A review of the code's assignment by the posting jurisdictions or clarification of the taxonomy mapping would be warranted before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
