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 0QQJXZZ

UNSPSC 85702962 Repair right fibula, external approach is a Commodity-tier code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair or musculoskeletal services. The code's abstract description and the actual buying activity reflected in posted solicitations do not correspond, suggesting either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement sources or a mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy and how jurisdictions are tagging healthcare and human services contracts in their systems.

The opportunities that do appear under this code originate from Georgia (Muscogee County Prison), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), reflecting a geographic scatter rather than concentrated activity. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, consolidated municipal governments, and special-purpose health and behavioral-health divisions. Because the solicitations do not reflect the orthopedic or surgical service line the code nominally describes, this code carries minimal relevance to firms pursuing state and local work in medical device repair, orthopedic procedural services, or related specialties. Practitioners should verify actual procurement intent through the issuing bodies' primary procurement channels rather than rely on this code for business development targeting.
