UNSPSC 85712954: Revision of internal fixation device in left carpal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left carpal joint, external 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 0RWRX4Z

UNSPSC 85712954 Revision of internal fixation device in left carpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that the recent state and local solicitation record does not support with relevant procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations concern orthopedic surgical devices, carpal joint procedures, or device procurement of any kind; the code's nominal scope—revision of an internal fixation device for a specific joint injury—does not align with the purchasing activity actually tagged to it in the state and local market.

State and local procurement offices show minimal relevant recent activity under this Commodity code. The mismatch between the code's medical-device focus and the health services and benefits administration work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error at the source or that this code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns for orthopedic or surgical-device procurement. A business development professional evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether orthopedic device opportunities are being solicited under a different UNSPSC classification in the target jurisdictions.
