UNSPSC 85695049: Insertion of external fixation device into right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right thumb phalanx, 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 0PHR35Z

UNSPSC 85695049 Insertion of external fixation device into right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, state and local governments are using this code tag for a broad range of health services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The code appears to serve as a catchall for healthcare services rather than a narrowly defined procedural intervention. Issuing bodies include county government (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire services (Santa Monica Fire Department in California). The work being solicited ranges from comprehensive correctional facility medical and pharmacy management to employee health plan administration, telehealth delivery, mental health peer support, and EMS medical oversight — a fragmented portfolio with no common procedural or clinical thread.

Recent activity spans four states: Georgia, Florida, and California each show one to three current opportunities. The Muscogee County Prison RFP (due May 15, 2026) seeks comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services including medical intake, chronic care management, emergency services, and formulary oversight for approximately 576 inmates, with the current contract held by CorrectHealth Companies LLC. Collier County Procurement Services issued an RFP (due April 9, 2026) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida posted an RFP (due April 16, 2026) for Virtual Primary Care and 24/7 Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members. A fifth opportunity — San Mateo County's Mental Health Services Act Innovation Pilot for peer support (posted February 25, 2026) — carries a $580,000 three-year funding allocation. The code's use across these diverse health service categories signals either a data-entry artifact or a broad categorization practice by these jurisdictions; prospective vendors should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
