This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia with hybrid 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 0QSH0DZ

UNSPSC 85703126 Reposition left tibia with hybrid external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure and orthopedic device implantation, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tibial repositioning or hybrid external fixation devices. The code assignment does not reflect the work actually being purchased.

The issuing bodies pursuing opportunities under this code include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), alongside health systems and retirement boards. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, and the City of Long Beach Centers of Excellence surgery benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated orthopedic device and surgical scope; the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement signals either a classification error in the source data or an obsolete code assignment for these opportunities.
