UNSPSC 85701706: Change other device in lower bone, 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 0Q2YXYZ

UNSPSC 85701706 Change other device in lower bone, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic implant procedures — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six recent solicitations captured under this code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve the procurement or installation of orthopedic devices in lower-bone anatomical sites, suggesting a tagging or classification mismatch rather than genuine market activity under the code's intended scope.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county human resources and health systems divisions, city retirement offices, and county probation authorities, indicating broad use across administrative and operational health-services functions — but none of the work described maps to orthopedic implant procurement or surgical device installation. The geographic spread includes California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County), reflecting national fragmentation across jurisdictional health-services and benefits administration rather than concentration in a single region. Businesses pursuing orthopedic implant device sales to state and local buyers should verify UNSPSC coding directly with individual procurement offices before relying on this code as an active market indicator.
