UNSPSC 85703360: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right femoral shaft, 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 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 0QH80DZ

UNSPSC 85703360 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow medical device or procedure scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader occupational health, disability evaluation, and healthcare administration services procured by city retirement systems, county health departments, state transit authorities, and county health systems. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification of health services opportunities or limited current procurement activity directly tied to femoral fixation devices in the state and local space.

The recent opportunities include disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with issuing bodies split between municipal retirement offices, state transit agencies, county human resources and health departments, and county health systems. The representative opportunities show response dates ranging from September through October 2026, with contract terms typically spanning two to five years. Given the divergence between the code's nominal scope and recent procurement reality, vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85703360, as the category appears to capture health services administration and occupational medicine rather than orthopedic surgical devices or procedures.
