UNSPSC 85703301: Release left fibula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left fibula, 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 0QNK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703301 Release left fibula, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgery delivery itself. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, health benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — activities that reference medical services in broader administrative or operational contexts rather than the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities or that the source data conflates medical services procurement more broadly with surgical procedure codes.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program design), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with no clear geographic pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP for approximately 75 annual disability applications (due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years, the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026). The code shows active but scattered procurement activity that does not substantively align with release of a fibula as surgical work.
