UNSPSC 85724216: Insertion of external fixation device into left knee 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 knee 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 0SHD45Z

UNSPSC 85724216 Insertion of external fixation device into left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five recent opportunities in the source—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county workforce, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—represent administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and clinical program oversight rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state and local procurement system or a misapplication of the UNSPSC code to opportunities for which it is not the appropriate taxonomy marker.

The recent opportunities under this code show activity across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and California municipal government (Santa Monica Fire Department). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health departments, consolidated city-county governments, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services with a response deadline of May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, with an anticipated contract effective date of October 1, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity and should not be relied upon for market analysis or opportunity pursuit targeting.
