UNSPSC 85694525: Revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpal, external 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 0PWQX4Z

UNSPSC 85694525 Revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpal, external approach (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving orthopedic hardware placement, yet the most recent postings—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—are acquiring occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve revision of internal fixation devices, surgical hardware, or orthopedic implants.

The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error at the issuing-body level or a UNSPSC coding misalignment in the procurement system itself. The Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (RFP 258414), and County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) are all state and local health-related procurers, but their current activity under this code reflects administrative and staffing services rather than orthopedic device procurement. Absent genuine recent opportunities for orthopedic hardware, revision procedures, or implant supply under this code, pursuit should be limited until the code's categorization clarifies or activity realigns with its nominal scope.
