UNSPSC 85702954: Reposition right tibia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right tibia, 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 0QSGXZZ

UNSPSC 85702954 Reposition right tibia, external approach is a Commodity code that carries a procedural orthopedic-surgery classification, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that nominal scope. The six most recent postings under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which are orthopedic surgical procedures or tibia repositioning. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and regional health authorities, indicating broad use of this code across different functional areas within state and local government rather than a coherent procurement category.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The code shows no consistent pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity in a single region. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with option to extend), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, five-year pool tenure). This code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy assignment rather than a meaningful procurement category, suggesting vendors should not rely on this classification alone when targeting state and local health and human services opportunities.
