UNSPSC 85703202: Replacement of left fibula with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left fibula with synthetic substitute, 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 0QRK0JZ

UNSPSC 85703202 Replacement of left fibula with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — replacement of a fibula bone with a synthetic implant using an open surgical technique — but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC describe health services contracting, medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and independent medical evaluations. These solicitations are not procuring the surgical procedure itself but rather contracting for the delivery, coordination, management, or evaluation of healthcare services across municipal, county, and state agencies.

State and local governments post no recent opportunities that align with procurement of orthopedic implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-specific medical devices under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations tagged to it suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these healthcare services contracts or the code sees little relevant activity in the state and local market. For firms pursuing implant, device, or surgical-supply contracts with state and local health systems, this code offers no current signals and warrants reassessment under device or supply-focused UNSPSC categories.
