UNSPSC 85703378: Insertion of intramedullary internal 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 intramedullary internal 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 0QH606Z

UNSPSC 85703378 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The code carries a medical device insertion procedure name specific to orthopedic surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procurement of intramedullary fixation devices or orthopedic implant services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity signals either a data-entry or classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities to UNSPSC 85703378. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara—are buying health plan administration, medical staffing, occupational health services, and pension-related medical evaluation, not orthopedic surgical devices or related procedures. No verifiable recent activity under this code reflects intramedullary fixation procurement by state or local buyers.
