UNSPSC 85722138: Insertion of external fixation device into right tarsal 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 tarsal 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 0SHH35Z

UNSPSC 85722138 Insertion of external fixation device into right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure descriptor. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or tarsal joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the issuing bodies' procurement taxonomy or a data tagging artifact; the code itself does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in the recent record.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without authentic opportunities in device procurement, resourcing under this code carries minimal decision value; firms focused on orthopedic implants, fixation hardware, or surgical device distribution should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before committing pursuit resources.
