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 0QSJXZZ

UNSPSC 85702952 "Reposition right fibula, external approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the five recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific procedure named. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than as a procedure-specific identifier.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city human resources and benefits offices (City of Long Beach, City of Santa Clara), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington State, Florida, and Texas, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). The code shows little actionable relevance to orthopedic procedure work; firms evaluating opportunities here should verify the intended UNSPSC category before pursuing, as the nominal scope and the work actually being bought appear fundamentally misaligned.
