UNSPSC 85703142: Reposition left lower femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left lower femur 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 0QSC0BZ

UNSPSC 85703142 Reposition left lower femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity-level code that carries clinical orthopedic procedure terminology but does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error in the source data rather than genuine procurement of the procedure the code name describes.

State and local issuers posting under this code include county corrections systems, county human resources and health benefit consortiums, county boards of commissioners managing employee health plans, county behavioral health divisions, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County, Florida's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's MHSA Innovation pilot for peer support services (funding $580,000 over three years), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Medical Director to oversee approximately 18,000 annual emergency calls. The code shows insufficient genuine procurement activity to support a reliable go/no-go decision for vendors seeking orthopedic device or surgical procedure contracts.
