This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right femoral shaft, 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 0QW8X5Z

UNSPSC 85702939 Revision of external fixation device in right femoral shaft, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure code, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external fixation device revision or orthopedic surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests the code is either incorrectly assigned to these opportunities by the issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all tag for health services that do not fit narrower clinical UNSPSC classifications in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services agencies (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the health services and staffing work actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity.
