UNSPSC 85695052: Insertion of internal fixation device into left metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal 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 0PHQ34Z

UNSPSC 85695052 Insertion of internal fixation device into left metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device insertion services; instead, they represent healthcare administration, pharmacy management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and EMS medical direction — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to solicit surgical services.

The limited recent activity under this code across the sampled jurisdictions — Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — reflects broader healthcare contracting rather than procurement of orthopedic devices or surgical insertion services. No state or local opportunity explicitly solicits the product or service line the Commodity code defines. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should verify code assignments in RFP documents and consider whether orthopedic surgical device procurement or medical direction services are coded differently within specific jurisdiction procurement systems, or whether such acquisitions fall outside active state and local competitive solicitation channels.
