UNSPSC 85703145 Reposition left lower femur with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the orthopedic surgical intervention the code names. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag health-related solicitations with clinical procedure codes, but the work actually being bought under this code covers administrative, contractual, and staffing aspects of healthcare delivery rather than the direct provision of the surgical procedure itself.

The issuing bodies are diverse municipal, county, and regional health systems: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (occupational disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee surgical benefit carve-outs), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with no geographic concentration evident. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific procedure named; pursue only if your firm provides occupational medicine surveillance, health plan benefit administration, medical staffing placement, or disability medical evaluation services rather than orthopedic surgery or implant supply.
