UNSPSC 85695605: Revision of internal fixation device in left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PWN44Z

UNSPSC 85695605 Revision of internal fixation device in left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's abstract scope—orthopedic surgical device revision for a specific anatomical site and approach—does not align with the state and local solicitations tagged under it in the recent-opportunities block. Those solicitations actually cover independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination, surgical procedure carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these represent procurement of the implantable orthopedic device or surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not appear to reflect the device or procedure revision scope the UNSPSC designation implies. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying patterns suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this code does not capture material state and local procurement activity in the device or surgical intervention domain. Business development professionals evaluating this code should focus on the kinds of work actually being solicited—healthcare staffing, benefit administration, and medical services contracting—rather than the orthopedic device revision implied by the code name.
