UNSPSC 85694771: Insertion of external fixation device into right metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right metacarpal, open 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 0PHP05Z

UNSPSC 85694771 Insertion of external fixation device into right metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code are exclusively administrative and clinical health services — independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — rather than orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (orthopedic fixation hardware) and the opportunities tagged to it signals a data alignment problem within the state and local procurement system that has classified administrative and benefits-management services under a Commodity code intended for medical devices or surgical interventions.

The recent activity reflects issuing by mid-size city and county health systems and benefits administrators: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum value and an October 16, 2026 deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefit program management with a target go-live of April 1, 2027 and a proposal due date of October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026.
