UNSPSC 85703359: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0QH904Z

UNSPSC 85703359 Insertion of internal fixation device into left femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent opportunities in the source record show no actual orthopedic surgical procedures, implant procurement, or medical device insertion work. Instead, the code has been applied to unrelated services including independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out program management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical care coordination. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving femoral shaft fixation—and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic mis-tagging by issuing bodies or a data-integrity issue in the source material.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities cluster in the Southwest and West Coast, with no geographic concentration suggesting a high-volume procurement category. Because the posted opportunities bear no functional relationship to the code's stated definition, this code does not support a meaningful procurement strategy targeting state and local governments for orthopedic surgical implant or procedure services.
