UNSPSC 85721627: Insertion of internal fixation device into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open 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 0SHL04Z

UNSPSC 85721627, Insertion of internal fixation device into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic fixation of a foot joint — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it concern occupational medical examinations, disability benefit medical record reviews, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procurement of orthopedic implants or fixation devices, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought indicates either a tagging error in the source material or that this code does not reflect active state and local purchasing in the commodity category it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city workforce programs (City of Long Beach), but their work is administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing — not orthopedic medical device procurement. Without evidence of state and local governments actually purchasing orthopedic fixation devices or related implants under this code, the opportunity pipeline does not support pursuit at this time.
