UNSPSC 85702645: Insertion of external fixation device into left metatarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left metatarsal, open 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 0QHP05Z

UNSPSC 85702645 Insertion of external fixation device into left metatarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure and is not aligned with the health services, managed care, and behavioral health contracts that state and local government agencies are actually buying in the current market.

The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a mismatch between the taxonomy and actual procurement demand. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued an RFP on April 15, 2026 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP on April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on March 14, 2026 (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services posted an RFP on February 25, 2026 (due July 2, 2025) for peer support services targeting peer workers; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP on February 25, 2026 (due October 16, 2025) for a medical director. These solicitations involve program administration, clinical oversight, care coordination, and pharmacy management—not orthopedic surgical procedures. The code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error rather than a reflection of genuine procurement interest in external fixation devices under this particular UNSPSC commodity classification.
