UNSPSC 85694929: Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right metacarpal, percutaneous 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 0PWP35Z

UNSPSC 85694929 Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification disconnected from recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits for government employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external fixation devices or orthopedic revision procedures. The scope mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for health services categories without a more precise taxonomy fit. State and local issuing bodies in the recent block include city pension boards, county human resources and health system divisions, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department, and a county board of commissioners — a diverse mix of government healthcare purchasers with no repeat buyers under this code.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas based on the recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool in 13 ancillary health professional categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows negligible relevant recent activity; the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and temporary staffing procurement rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures.
