UNSPSC 85722634: Insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SHJ45Z

UNSPSC 85722634 Insertion of external fixation device into left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The source records six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, but none involve orthopedic devices, surgical instrumentation, or medical equipment procurement. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, healthcare staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of surgical implant devices.

This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in the underlying opportunity records or a divergence between the code taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices actually tag their solicitations. State and local buyers do procure medical devices and implants through group purchasing organizations and healthcare system consortiums, but those opportunities are not appearing under this code in the current market. Vendors in orthopedic or surgical-device categories should verify their target codes against recent RFP activity before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85722634 specifically, and should monitor whether the code's activity improves as state health systems and counties refresh medical supply contracts in 2027.
