UNSPSC 85704843: Insertion of external fixation device into left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left patella, 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 0QHF45Z

UNSPSC 85704843 Insertion of external fixation device into left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect medical evaluation, benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, and pharmacy management — services that do not align with procurement of orthopedic fixation devices or related surgical supplies. The six most recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic implants, fixation devices, or surgical instrumentation.

The issuing bodies span a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city personnel department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County) — a mix typical of state and local healthcare and benefits procurement. Recent activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida, though the geographic sample is limited. Without solicitations that actually solicit orthopedic fixation devices or related implants under this code, the commodity itself remains unvalidated in current state and local procurement. Vendors should monitor whether future opportunities correctly tag orthopedic device procurement to this code or whether the mislabeling reflects a systematic data-quality issue in the underlying procurement records.
