UNSPSC 85705419: Revision of external fixation device in right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right tarsal, 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 0QWL45Z

UNSPSC 85705419 Revision of external fixation device in right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the actual opportunities state and local bodies have posted under this classification in the recent period.

The opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these match the orthopedic device revision procedure the code nominally describes. This classification mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are applying it. Potential vendors should verify the actual scope of work directly in each RFP or RFQ rather than rely on the code designation alone when evaluating opportunities in this category.
