This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0QS60BZ

UNSPSC 85703177 Reposition right upper femur with monoplanar external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent contract opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the use of external fixation devices. State and local buying activity tagged to this code does not reflect the procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county government procurement offices and municipal health departments across Florida and Georgia, including Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (PBM services), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health (behavioral health peer support), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (medical direction services). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, covering a 576-inmate facility with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services for 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services covering 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026. The code appears to be misclassified in state and local procurement systems — vendors pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC should verify the actual scope of work in individual solicitations rather than relying on the code description.
