UNSPSC 85703164: Reposition right femoral shaft with intramedullary internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right femoral shaft with intramedullary 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 0QS806Z

UNSPSC 85703164 Reposition right femoral shaft with intramedullary internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations posted under this code between July and September 2026 — drawn from state retirement systems, county health plans, state ferry systems, juvenile detention, and county pharmacy management — involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these solicitations call for the procedure itself or related intramedullary fixation devices or orthopedic surgical implants.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the posted opportunities suggests either systematic coding inconsistency within the state and local procurement systems that generated these notices or an error in the code assignment itself. State and local buyers appear to be using this Commodity code to tag broad healthcare services and benefit administration work rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant procurement. No meaningful activity directly aligned with femoral shaft repositioning or related orthopedic implants appears in the recent posting record. Buyers pursuing orthopedic surgical device or procedure-specific contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used in target jurisdictions before assuming this code signals relevant procurement opportunities.
