UNSPSC 85704338: Insertion of internal fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right tibia, 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 0QHG44Z

UNSPSC 85704338 Insertion of internal fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this designation. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgical procedure codes or medical device procurement; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have applied inconsistently or erroneously to administrative healthcare services and staffing contracts rather than to the orthopedic device implantation the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems — the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical care networks), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing). Geographic activity is scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state or region. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code carries minimal decision relevance for vendors pursuing orthopedic device, surgical implant, or procedure-level procurement opportunities in state and local markets.
