UNSPSC 85704365: Insertion of external fixation device into right femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right femoral shaft, 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 0QH845Z

UNSPSC 85704365, Insertion of external fixation device into right femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic devices, implants, or surgical equipment. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out programs — none of which align with the procurement or supply of external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests that this code may have been applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or that the code's current use in state and local procurement diverges substantially from its defined scope.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System in California (temporary clinical staffing), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office in Arizona (independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach in California (surgical procedure carve-out networks), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). Given the absence of actual device procurement activity and the divergence between the code's defined scope and what these opportunities describe, this code does not present a meaningful pursuit opportunity for vendors focused on orthopedic devices or surgical implants.
