UNSPSC 85702962: Repair right fibula, 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 0QQJXZZ

UNSPSC 85702962 Repair right fibula, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with that clinical scope. The code appears misapplied across the available opportunities, which instead reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fibular fracture repair or orthopedic surgery. The issuing bodies span state health and transportation agencies, county human resources and probation departments, and municipal retirement offices, indicating the code is being used as a catch-all classification for health-service-related procurements rather than as a precise surgical procedure descriptor.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (proposals due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability retirement determinations, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 beginning February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending of $8.7 million. The code shows recent activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of fibular repair procurement; this represents a systematic mismatch between code classification and actual goods or services being acquired.
