UNSPSC 85703005: Revision of internal fixation device in left fibula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left fibula, open 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 0QWK04Z

UNSPSC 85703005 Revision of internal fixation device in left fibula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure title and the state and local opportunities actually tagged to it. The recent solicitations under this code do not solicit orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or fibular repair services; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to capture broader health service contracting. No recent opportunities within this code actually procure the orthopedic device or procedure named in the Commodity title.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of device or implant procurements under this code in the recent opportunities block, firms pursuing orthopedic device or surgical implant sales to state and local bodies should verify coding accuracy before investing in pursuit under 85703005.
