UNSPSC 85703206: Replacement of right fibula with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right fibula with autologous tissue 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 0QRJ07Z

UNSPSC 85703206 "Replacement of right fibula with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The posted opportunities—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative health services and workforce procurement, not orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code classification appears to reflect a clinical procedure taxonomy rather than a procurement category used by state and local purchasing offices.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting include a city retirement board (Phoenix), a large city government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county government (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No recent opportunities explicitly procure the orthopedic implants or surgical materials the code nominally describes. Procurement under this code, if any, would likely occur through health system or hospital supply chain channels rather than through traditional RFP or RFQ vehicles directed at vendors. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local solicitation purposes and focus activity elsewhere.
