UNSPSC 85703159: Reposition left femoral shaft with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left femoral shaft with internal 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 0QS904Z

UNSPSC 85703159 Reposition left femoral shaft with internal fixation device, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect diverse health service contracting — disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or internal fixation devices. The issuing bodies span a city retirement board, municipal health departments, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a county health system, indicating fragmented health service procurement across administrative levels rather than any coherent clinical or procedural specialization.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-procedure scope and the health-service-administration focus of posted opportunities suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the code itself sees negligible use for its intended commodity.
