UNSPSC 85722139: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0SHH34Z

UNSPSC 85722139 Insertion of internal fixation device into right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the six most recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations relate to tarsal joint fixation devices or the orthopedic implant supply chain.

State and local procurement activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning municipal retirement offices, cities, counties, state transportation departments, and county health systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the actual healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state or local systems applying the code, or that this code is not actively used for its nominal commodity scope in recent procurement. No recent opportunities solicit orthopedic implants, devices, or related supplies.
