UNSPSC 85703356: Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left femoral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left femoral shaft, 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 0QH908Z

UNSPSC 85703356 Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative healthcare services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—work plainly unrelated to limb lengthening devices or orthopedic implant procurement. This mismatch suggests either miscoding of solicitations or that state and local governments are not currently procuring the specific service the code nominally describes through open competitive contracting.

The six posted opportunities—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational health surveillance, specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing. None involves orthopedic devices, implants, surgical hardware, or the procedure named in the code. Without recent opportunities that match the code's actual scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive in the state and local procurement market and focus pursuit efforts elsewhere.
