UNSPSC 85703170: Reposition left upper femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left upper femur with monoplanar 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 0QS70BZ

UNSPSC 85703170 Reposition left upper femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code assigned to medical and healthcare service contracts, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows no orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices directly matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to tag comprehensive healthcare delivery contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical director positions. The work actually being procured spans medical intake and chronic care management, pharmacy formulary development and claims processing, telemedicine platforms with 24/7 urgent care access, behavioral health peer support, and physician oversight of emergency medical services. Issuing bodies include county health systems (Collier County, Monroe County), county detention facilities (Muscogee County), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The code shows use across diverse healthcare service categories rather than a narrow orthopedic focus.

Recent activity clusters in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), spanning county boards of commissioners, fire departments, and behavioral health agencies. Muscogee County's Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at a 576-inmate facility with a May 15, 2026 proposal deadline and current monthly costs of $95,537.71; Collier County Procurement Services issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; Monroe County issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members with an April 16, 2026 deadline and anticipated contract effective date of October 1, 2026. The code mismatch between its orthopedic device focus and actual healthcare service procurements suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services outside narrower specialty categories.
