UNSPSC 85723714: Revision of internal fixation device in right ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right ankle 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 0SWF34Z

UNSPSC 85723714, Revision of internal fixation device in right ankle joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities on file reflect solicitation of health services — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefits administration, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or joint revision procedures. The code's nominal scope (a specific orthopedic surgical intervention) and the work actually being bought under it show a substantial mismatch.

The issuing bodies pursuing these health-services opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating broad geographic and jurisdictional distribution across the Southwest, Southeast, and Pacific regions. The absence of recent state and local procurement activity for orthopedic internal fixation devices under this code suggests either that procurement of such surgical devices occurs through different UNSPSC classifications, negotiated health-system supply contracts, or group purchasing organization (GPO) frameworks that do not surface in general state and local RFP channels.
