UNSPSC 85703169, Reposition left upper femur with ring external fixation device, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. Recent state and local solicitations do not reflect procurement of this surgical service itself; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code show government bodies procuring broader medical services and staffing — occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact; state and local governments do not typically bid out individual surgical procedures as line-item commodities. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting activity across multiple states but concentrated in larger urban and county jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052) and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753) for Centers of Excellence networks targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures illustrate the actual scope of work being procured. Issuers include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. The code shows little decision relevance for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical implant, instrumentation, or procedure-specific work.
