UNSPSC 85702505: Revision of internal fixation device in left metatarsal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left metatarsal, external 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 0QWPX4Z

UNSPSC 85702505 Revision of internal fixation device in left metatarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The most-recent-opportunities block contains no procurement records for orthopedic device revision, surgical supplies, or implant-related services. Instead, the records tagged to this code reflect occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits—none of which align with the code's stated orthopedic device scope. This suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging their opportunities, or that this particular code does not reflect active state and local buying activity for the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span city health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county retirement and probation offices (Phoenix, Harris County), and county government benefits administration (Collier County). These varied jurisdictions are using the code to describe services wholly outside orthopedic device procurement—occupational medical surveillance, PBM administration, clinical staffing pools, and benefits management. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually soliciting orthopedic device revisions or related supplies under this code, the Commodity code itself cannot be evaluated as a procurement vehicle for orthopedic device vendors.
