UNSPSC 85703121: Reposition right fibula with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right fibula with monoplanar external fixation device, 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 0QSJ0BZ

UNSPSC 85703121, Reposition right fibula with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with this nominal scope. The six opportunities record solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, specialty emergency care in detention settings, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves fibula repositioning or external fixation devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure scope; the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for miscellaneous healthcare procurement that does not match the orthopedic surgery procedure it nominally describes.

Across the six posted opportunities, the issuing bodies span city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation and juvenile justice agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems and boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and regional transit authorities operating employee health programs. Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determination support at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) managing specialized procedure networks for 3,800 enrolled employees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category and does not merit pursuit under its stated orthopedic surgery scope.
