UNSPSC 85703051: Supplement left fibula with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left fibula with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QUK0KZ

UNSPSC 85703051, Supplement left fibula with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that scope; instead, they center on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, employee benefits administration, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing placement. The mismatch between the code's intended meaning and the work actually being solicited suggests this code carries little relevance to procurement activity in the orthopedic implant or surgical services domain. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span a county health system (Santa Clara), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county corrections department (Harris County Juvenile Probation), a county government (Collier County), and two cities (Phoenix and Long Beach), reflecting a mix of health system, public safety, administrative, and benefits-focused buyers rather than surgical or procedural vendors.

Geographic distribution across the recent opportunities covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative current solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which requires physician supervision across 14 ferry system locations statewide, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications. The County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) seeks to build a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 specialty categories, with no guaranteed volume. The code shows active posting volume but demonstrates a categorical mismatch; prospective vendors in orthopedic devices, surgical implants, or procedure-specific services should verify code relevance before pursuit, as the recent opportunities record suggests this code may be incorrectly assigned to health services administration and staffing contracts rather than the surgical or implant-focused scope the code nominally describes.
