UNSPSC 85704509: Revision of external fixation device in right patella, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right patella, 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 0QWDX5Z

UNSPSC 85704509 Revision of external fixation device in right patella, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code for orthopedic device revision, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare services procurement — independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the purchase or implantation of external fixation devices or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local purchasing offices for the work it nominally describes.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Department of Transportation), issued by city retirement boards, county health systems, county commissioners, and state agencies. Absent evidence of procurement officers actually buying external fixation devices or related orthopedic implants under this code, firms pursuing orthopedic device sales to state and local bodies should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their products rather than rely on this code's activity.
