UNSPSC 85703123: Reposition right fibula with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right fibula with 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 0QSJ05Z

UNSPSC 85703123 Reposition right fibula with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not match that scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited are medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which align with direct provision of fibula repositioning surgery or related implantable devices. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent tagging by issuing bodies or that this code does not capture meaningful state and local procurement demand for the procedure it names.

The recent opportunities that are tagged under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code does not represent a actionable market for orthopedic surgical procedure vendors or device suppliers.
