UNSPSC 85723516: Insertion of external fixation device into left knee joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left knee 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 0SHD05Z

UNSPSC 85723516 Insertion of external fixation device into left knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification incompatible with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect no alignment with orthopedic surgical implants or fixation devices; instead, the posted solicitations document comprehensive healthcare management services including inmate medical and pharmacy administration, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices do not typically issue RFPs or RFQs under this code for the actual medical device or surgical procedure it names.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care services), California (San Mateo County behavioral health peer support), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction), with response dates spanning February through May 2026. The issuing bodies are county governments and municipal fire departments pursuing healthcare services and administrative management contracts rather than surgical devices. The code shows no recent relevant activity aligned with orthopedic fixation devices or implant procurement by state and local public bodies; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the healthcare services documented in the opportunities suggests either tagging error or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement of its intended commodity.
