UNSPSC 85703144 Reposition left lower femur with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under recent opportunities tagged to it. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedure codes, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no direct purchasing of orthopedic surgical procedures themselves. Instead, the opportunities reveal a consistent pattern of governments buying occupational health services, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefits programs — none of which align with the specific procedural coding of the UNSPSC category.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting a national but scattered geographic footprint with no evident state-level concentration. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant activity for orthopedic surgical procedures and should not be relied upon to target state and local government buyers of such services.
