UNSPSC 85712321: Revision of external fixation device in left elbow joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left elbow joint, 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 0RWM35Z

UNSPSC 85712321 Revision of external fixation device in left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for orthopedic surgical device revision or placement. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services for hospital ancillary clinical roles. None of these activities involve external fixation device procurement, revision procedures, or orthopedic surgical supply chains. The disconnect suggests either systematic tagging error at the issuing body level or a data synchronization gap between UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual commodity specification.

State and local procurement activity under this code appears limited to administrative and clinical service contracting rather than medical device supply. Issuing bodies have included the City of Phoenix (municipal pension administration), City of Long Beach (municipal benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (state ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county detention), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county benefits), and County of Santa Clara Health System (county health). Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without evidence of active procurement for external fixation devices or related orthopedic implant services, the code does not currently signal market activity for device manufacturers, distributors, or surgical supply vendors pursuing state and local contracts.
