UNSPSC 85701431: Insertion of external fixation device into left pelvic bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left pelvic bone, 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 0QH335Z

UNSPSC 85701431 Insertion of external fixation device into left pelvic bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the work state and local governments are actually soliciting. The recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County, virtual primary and urgent care services for Monroe County, peer support services for San Mateo County, and fire department medical director services for Santa Monica—involve healthcare administration, benefit management, and clinical oversight, not orthopedic surgical procedures or device insertion. The code appears to be a misclassification within the source system; no solicitations reflect procurement of external fixation devices or related surgical interventions.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests the code receives little relevant recent activity from state and local buyers. Business development professionals evaluating opportunities under this UNSPSC should verify the actual commodity or service they are pursuing before committing resources to pursue state and local contracts tagged with this designation.
