UNSPSC 85703129: Reposition left tibia with intramedullary internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia with intramedullary internal 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 0QSH06Z

UNSPSC 85703129 Reposition left tibia with intramedullary internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgery, medical devices, or intramedullary fixation. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical care carve-out network management. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is not reliably used by state and local procurement offices for the procedure it nominally describes, or that the opportunities have been miscoded in the source data.

The most concrete recent solicitations under this code involve the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with physician-led baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard and vessel crew workers due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services and disability record summaries for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); and the City of Long Beach soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for employees and retirees due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Additional opportunities include Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052), Collier County procuring pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending (RFP 25-8414), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026 (071626BNM). Given the absence of orthopedic surgical device or procedure procurement under this code, activity is limited and misaligned with its nominal scope.
