UNSPSC 85703336: Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right 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 0QHG06Z

UNSPSC 85703336, Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right tibia, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it—dating from July through September 2026—involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations procure intramedullary fixation devices or orthopedic implants. The activity under this code does not reflect procurement of the product or service the code name describes; instead, issuers appear to have misclassified health care management and staffing services under an implant-specific commodity code.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration pattern evident. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health departments, county procurement divisions, a state transportation authority, and a county juvenile probation department. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), neither of which involve orthopedic implants or devices. The code appears to be a low-volume or mis-coded category with no clear procurement signal for orthopedic fixation devices in the current state and local market.
