This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right upper femur, open approach.

UNSPSC 85703049 Revision of external fixation device in right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that shows material misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-device label suggests orthopedic hardware procurement, yet the most-recent opportunities solicited are occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty healthcare for youth in detention—none of which involve external fixation devices or orthopedic implants. The recent opportunities are administrative and clinical services rather than medical devices or surgical hardware. State and local bodies posting under this code are issuing bodies spanning county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). No repeat buyers appear in the recent block, and no issuing body solicited under this code more than once in the window shown.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County, Harris County in Texas), and Washington State. The most representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 applicants annually at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians. The code's mismatch with actual recent activity suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or inactive orthopedic procurement under this specific commodity designation during the recent period shown.
