UNSPSC 85713661: Revision of external fixation device in right carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right carpal 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 0RWQ35Z

UNSPSC 85713661 Revision of external fixation device in right carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical device scope. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the source material—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management functions rather than orthopedic device procurement or surgical procedures. State and local purchasing offices issuing under this code tag are requesting services in occupational medicine administration, medical record review, benefit plan operations, and clinical staffing, not external fixation devices or hand surgery procedures.

The issuing bodies span county and state agencies, transit authorities, and city benefit departments: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code appears to carry a mismatch between its product nomenclature and actual procurement activity, suggesting that state and local procurement offices may be applying the external fixation device Commodity code to healthcare service and benefit management solicitations incorrectly or that the code assignment does not reflect actual buying patterns in this market segment.
