UNSPSC 85701517: Revision of external fixation device in right pelvic bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right pelvic bone, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QW245Z

UNSPSC 85701517 Revision of external fixation device in right pelvic bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and other healthcare services and benefits administration — none of which involve orthopedic device revision, pelvic bone surgery, or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the buying activity captured under it spans administrative healthcare contracting and workforce staffing, suggesting a data-classification misalignment rather than genuine procurement activity for the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities do show issuing bodies including county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee-benefits divisions (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no discernible pattern of repeat buyers under this specific code. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure name and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, state and local procurement of the device or procedure named in UNSPSC 85701517 is not evident in current activity, and firms pursuing orthopedic or spine-device opportunities should verify code assignment separately rather than relying on this category's recent posting history.
