UNSPSC 85705329: Insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal, percutaneous 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 0QHM35Z

UNSPSC 85705329 Insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic fixation—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under it. The five opportunities in the source reflect healthcare service procurement (inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction) rather than the acquisition of external fixation devices or surgical implants. This mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the underlying procurement system or that this Commodity code is not the appropriate classification vehicle for the work currently being solicited by state and local buyers.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county governments and special-purpose health districts in Georgia, Florida, and California. No pattern of repeat buyers or sustained procurement activity under this code is evident from the source. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for implant or device sales and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for orthopedic fixation devices and surgical implants before committing resources to pursuit.
