UNSPSC 85702925: Revision of internal fixation device in left lower femur, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left lower femur, 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 0QWCX4Z

UNSPSC 85702925 Revision of internal fixation device in left lower femur, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic implant revision procedures — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six most recent state and local solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve procurement of orthopedic devices or implants, nor do they involve surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying procurement system or that this code is being misapplied to administrative or ancillary health services rather than to the medical device or surgical intervention it nominally describes.

State and local buyers across multiple jurisdictions — counties, cities, and state agencies — are actively soliciting health-related services under this code designation, but the actual work being purchased comprises health plan administration, staffing, surveillance, and evaluation services with no device procurement. Firms pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification on any prospective solicitation before investing in proposal development, as the current tagging suggests systematic misclassification rather than sustained demand for orthopedic revision implants within state and local government procurement.
