This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left fibula with internal fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85703117 Reposition left fibula with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally addresses orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical fixation work. Instead, the opportunities span healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical direction — none of which involve fibula repositioning or orthopedic surgery. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used to solicit the work its name describes. State and local bodies posting under this code are county health departments, county commissioners' offices, county human resources divisions, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments seeking to contract for healthcare services and clinical administration rather than surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities posted under the code include Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issuing RFP 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issuing RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (posted April 9, 2026); Monroe County Board of County Commissioners issuing an RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services issuing RFP 2025-007 for Mental Health Services Act peer support services totaling $580,000 (due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department issuing an RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). Opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier and Monroe counties) and California (San Mateo County), with one in Georgia and one in California. The code shows activity across multiple states but does not reflect the orthopedic surgical scope its commodity name suggests; business development professionals should verify accurate UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this code.
