UNSPSC 85712470: Insertion of external fixation device into right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right wrist 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 0RHN35Z

UNSPSC 85712470 Insertion of external fixation device into right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six state and local contract opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The code's nominal scope (insertion of an external fixation device into a specific joint via percutaneous approach) does not match the healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this classification.

The mislabeling reflects a systematic tagging error in the source data rather than genuine market activity under the code. State and local procurement offices purchasing orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or procedure-specific medical equipment would typically be tagged under different UNSPSC classifications. Vendors pursuing opportunities in state and local healthcare procurement should verify code accuracy independently rather than relying on this classification to surface relevant demand.
