UNSPSC 85701339: Reposition right pelvic bone with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right pelvic bone with external fixation device, 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 0QS235Z

UNSPSC 85701339 Reposition right pelvic bone with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure description and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices; instead, they reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing services — none of which relate to pelvic bone repositioning or external fixation.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how these opportunities were classified or that the code itself is not actively used for relevant state and local purchasing. No state or local agency is currently soliciting for pelvic bone repositioning services, external fixation devices, or related orthopedic surgical supplies or procedures under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and the City of Long Beach all appear to have selected this code incorrectly when posting medical and health services opportunities that fall outside its scope. This code warrants careful review before pursuing — the recent activity provides no signal of genuine demand for the products or services the code nominally describes.
