UNSPSC 85701427: Insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, 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 0QH535Z

UNSPSC 85701427 Insertion of external fixation device into left acetabulum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—are healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical services contracts that bear no connection to orthopedic surgical device insertion. The code's clinical specificity (a particular surgical procedure on a particular anatomical site) does not match the scope of work being solicited, which spans correctional healthcare operations, employee pharmacy programs, virtual care platforms, behavioral health peer support, and emergency medical services oversight.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal agencies (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), but the posted opportunities do not reflect procurement of orthopedic implants or surgical services. The geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California, yet the substantive work being solicited—pharmacy benefit administration with historical annual spend around $8.7 million (Collier County), inmate medical services with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 (Muscogee County), virtual care deployment, and peer support program delivery—falls entirely outside the code's stated scope. Recent RFP activity includes Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical contract (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot ($580,000 total funding, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director engagement (due October 16, 2025). The mismatch between code classification and actual procurement intent suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or that this commodity code is not in active use for state and local healthcare procurement.
