UNSPSC 85724217: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0SHD44Z

UNSPSC 85724217 Insertion of internal fixation device into left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—are healthcare administration, management, and clinical services contracts unrelated to orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) does not align with the administrative and operational healthcare services state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical procedure definition and how the issuing bodies (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California; and Santa Monica, California) are using the code in their procurement systems. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify the actual scope of work needed before pursuing; the current opportunity stream does not support bidding on orthopedic implants or surgical services.
