UNSPSC 85695051: Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left 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 0PHQ35Z

UNSPSC 85695051 (Commodity — Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpal, percutaneous approach) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent solicitations posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to orthopedic device procurement or surgical insertion procedures. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems, with agencies tagging healthcare services and staffing solicitations to a highly specific medical procedure code that does not match the work being bought.

No actionable procurement activity exists under this code for vendors in the orthopedic device, surgical implant, or external fixation markets. Firms pursuing state and local medical procurement should monitor healthcare services, medical equipment supply, or hospital equipment codes instead of this commodity classification.
