UNSPSC 85713926: Insertion of external fixation device into left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left 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 0RHR35Z

UNSPSC 85713926 Insertion of external fixation device into left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — the percutaneous placement of external fixation hardware into the left wrist — which does not align with the scope of work appearing in the most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code.

The five recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026 span jail inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director oversight. None involves external fixation devices or orthopedic procedural equipment. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that this code is not actively used for state and local health care procurement. State and local buyers purchasing orthopedic surgical supplies, devices, or services would more commonly use codes aligned with medical device procurement or healthcare supply management rather than this procedure-specific code. Without recent opportunities demonstrating actual purchasing activity aligned to the code's nominal scope, the code presents no clear opportunity for pursuit.
