UNSPSC 85695504: Revision of external fixation device in left carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left carpal, 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 0PWN35Z

UNSPSC 85695504 Revision of external fixation device in left carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect medical device implants or orthopedic surgery execution. Instead, the opportunities document occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which align with external fixation device placement or revision work. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the actual procedure it nominally names.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span diverse issuing bodies including a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and independent municipal boards, with geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. None document procurement for orthopedic fixation devices, surgical revision procedures, or related implant services. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities suggests either systematic tagging error within the state and local procurement system or that this particular Commodity code is not actively used for legitimate medical device or surgical procedure procurement under this code number.
