This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left femoral shaft with 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 0QS905Z

UNSPSC 85703158 Reposition left femoral shaft with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work being solicited under this taxonomy designation in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, and emergency healthcare services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source database or a misalignment between the UNSPSC code assignment and the work actually being procured.

The issuing bodies across the six opportunities include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach). Geographically, recent activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year contract value), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (historical spend of $8.7 million annually). Given the lack of coherence between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement being conducted, this code shows little decision relevance for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical services or medical device work in the state and local market.
