UNSPSC 85701227: Insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, open 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 0QH505Z

UNSPSC 85701227 Insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no substantive alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure code, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local systems involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of external fixation devices. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the issuing systems or opportunistic tagging by procurement offices unfamiliar with UNSPSC medical-procedure classification. The code shows minimal decision-relevant recent activity within its intended scope.

The recent solicitations tagged under this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal retirement offices. Because the posted opportunities do not reflect the code's orthopedic surgical procedure scope, this code warrants monitoring for reclassification or scope clarification rather than active business development pursuit at this time.
