UNSPSC 85702357: Insertion of external fixation device into sacrum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into sacrum, 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 0QH135Z

UNSPSC 85702357, Insertion of external fixation device into sacrum, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code showing no alignment between its clinical procedural scope and recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The opportunities tagged to this code in the source represent medical services, staffing, and benefits administration — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, emergency services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe orthopedic device insertion, external fixation, or sacral procedures. This mislabeling suggests the code may not be actively used or correctly applied by state and local procurement offices for actual purchasing activity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with issuers including city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, focusing on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities reflect procurement of orthopedic fixation devices or surgical implants. The code warrants verification with procurement staff to confirm whether it is being applied correctly or whether medical device purchasing operates under a different classification scheme in state and local systems.
