This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right upper femur with ring 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 0QS60CZ

UNSPSC 85703176 Reposition right upper femur with ring external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope (a specific orthopedic surgical procedure) and actual procurement records suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data artifact.

The six opportunities on file span occupational health (Washington State Ferries), public safety pension medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), health plan surgical carve-outs (City of Long Beach), pharmaceutical management (Collier County), youth detention health services (Harris County), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). Issuing bodies include state agencies, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. Given the absence of procurement activity matching the code's stated scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for orthopedic device or surgical-procedure contracting and flag the classification discrepancy with procurement offices seeking to submit bids in that category.
