UNSPSC 85703149 Reposition right lower femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic fixation services but instead span medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefits administration across diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile detention authorities. The mismatch suggests this code may have been applied inconsistently or inappropriately to procurement records that fall outside its intended scope.

The most recent opportunities tagged under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members (due April 9, 2026, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no concentrated state-level pattern. The code shows little relevant recent activity in orthopedic fixation or surgical implants; business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether opportunities are being tagged correctly before pursuing.
