UNSPSC 85701233: Insertion of external fixation device into right pelvic bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right pelvic bone, 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 0QH205Z

UNSPSC 85701233, Insertion of external fixation device into right pelvic bone, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving orthopedic fixation, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic devices or surgical supplies. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the purchase or installation of pelvic fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the opportunities database or that this code does not reflect actual state and local procurement practice for the device class it nominally describes.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflected in the opportunities include Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The issuing bodies range from state departments and county health systems to city procurement offices and retirement boards. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026). If your firm pursues orthopedic fixation devices for state and local buyers, this code should not be relied upon to identify relevant opportunities.
