UNSPSC 85701706: Change other device in lower bone, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to 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 minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes orthopedic or orthotic medical device implantation or alteration, yet the five recent opportunities posted under it—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction—involve no procurement of orthopedic devices, external bone-modification equipment, or related medical hardware. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare service contracts and staff augmentation across diverse settings. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this UNSPSC category is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or sees negligible genuine demand for the device category it describes.

The issuing bodies span county-level purchasing offices and local health departments—Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California)—with activity concentrated in the Southeast and West Coast. Recent RFPs posted between February and April 2026 range from fixed-term service agreements (two to three years) to pilot programs, with response dates clustered in April through July 2026, but none of these opportunities are related to orthopedic device procurement or external bone alteration. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for genuine orthopedic device or external bone-modification work and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85701706.
