UNSPSC 85703147 Reposition right lower femur with hybrid external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that displays a fundamental mismatch between its surgical-procedure naming and the state and local purchasing activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability-benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; state and local procurement offices appear to be using this code to capture broad medical evaluation and healthcare services contracting rather than implantable orthopedic devices or surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect coherent procurement activity in surgical implants or orthopedic device positioning.
