UNSPSC 85703368 Insertion of ring external fixation device into left upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical orthopedic procedure title but does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with surgical orthopedic implant insertion or operative procedures. The code shows no recent activity matching its nominal description; the mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement records or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local health service procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, with work concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry locations (cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on pricing and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 solicitation for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve external fixation devices, surgical implants, or operative orthopedic care; the code does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
