UNSPSC 85703346: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, 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 0QHB0DZ

UNSPSC 85703346 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving orthopedic fixation devices, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procurement or supply of orthopedic fixation hardware or related surgical devices. This indicates a potential misclassification or data artifact in the source material rather than an active procurement category for the described medical device.

The recent opportunities do show activity across state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, but these solicitations are for health services administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than medical device procurement. Without recent opportunities that actually match the code's stated scope—orthopedic fixation devices for surgical implantation—the code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing device supply or medical device distribution contracts in state and local markets.
