UNSPSC 85723117: Reposition right knee joint with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right knee joint with external fixation device, 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 0SSC05Z

UNSPSC 85723117 Reposition right knee joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices for knee repositioning. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code assignment that does not correspond to the goods and services being solicited.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block include a county corrections system (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), two county health benefit administrators (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department). Given the consistent absence of orthopedic surgical procurement and the presence of healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and public health services work instead, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local orthopedic or surgical device contracts.
