UNSPSC 85703232 Repair right fibula, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical repair procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with orthopedic surgical repair and instead reflect a broader portfolio of occupational health, benefits administration, and medical staffing services that state and local health systems and public employers are actively procuring. The actual work being solicited spans independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for government employees, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the code's stated orthopedic surgical scope. This mismatch suggests the code is being used as a catch-all classification for medical services procurement rather than as a specific descriptor of fibular repair procedures.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health and probation systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas, with municipal and county government employers as primary buyers. Given the code's apparent misclassification, pursuit should be informed by whether your firm's actual capabilities align with disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, or health plan administration rather than with surgical repair services.
