This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metatarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85702718 Reposition left metatarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities do not solicit orthopedic surgical services or devices; instead, they reflect healthcare administration, occupational medicine surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple health system and government employee benefit contexts. The code's narrowly defined procedural name does not map to the work being bought in the open market.

Recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence network management for employee health plans, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing for multiple ancillary clinical categories, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state. The code shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement patterns.
