UNSPSC 85703376: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right upper femur, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right upper 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 0QH60BZ

UNSPSC 85703376 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code's technical medical device nomenclature references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure and implant, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and Center of Excellence surgical networks—none of which involve external fixation devices or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the posting platform or use of the code as a catch-all category for health-related services rather than its intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county benefits administration (Collier County)—a broad jurisdictional spread across administrative and clinical functions with no standout repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and Center of Excellence carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Firms pursuing this code should verify that their services align with the actual scope of work—health plan administration, occupational medicine, medical evaluation coordination, and clinical staffing—rather than the device-focused commodity definition.
