UNSPSC 85771731: Change other device in left upper extremity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change other device in left upper extremity, external 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 0X27XYZ

UNSPSC 85771731 Change other device in left upper extremity, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic medical device procedures; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that scope. The five solicitations tagged to this code — spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services — represent broad healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and medical personnel contracting rather than orthopedic device replacement or external procedural work. The code shows a significant classification mismatch with the work actually being solicited.

The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and regions: the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Georgia, inmate healthcare); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and dependents); Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida, virtual primary and urgent care); San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California, peer support services); and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California, emergency medical services medical direction). No repeat buyer patterns emerge from this small set. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no dominant concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026, for a facility housing 576 offenders, current monthly cost $95,537.71), and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million. The UNSPSC code assignment does not reflect the healthcare contracting and administration activity actually being pursued; business development professionals should verify code scope with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
