UNSPSC 85703331: Insertion of internal fixation device into left tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left tibia, 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 0QHH04Z

UNSPSC 85703331 Insertion of internal fixation device into left tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical implants or fixation devices; instead, they reflect state and local healthcare administration and benefits management — medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and occupational medical surveillance. The mismatch suggests this code is either rarely used by state and local procurement offices for the actual surgical implant work it nominally describes, or the opportunities in the source have been misclassified.

The lone exception, a Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (posted August 24, 2026, responses due September 25, 2026), remains too preliminary to signal real purchasing patterns — no contract value, term, incumbent, or follow-on timeline is specified. The remaining five opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (historical spend $8.7 million annually, due April 9, 2026 — noted as past-date, likely a data error in the source), and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing pool RFQ (due October 7, 2026) — all fall outside orthopedic implant procurement. This code does not reflect measurable state and local contracting demand for the surgical device work its name implies.
