UNSPSC 85703412: Excision of right fibula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right fibula, 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 0QBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703412 Excision of right fibula, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code appears designed to classify a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit occupational and disability medical evaluation services, workplace health surveillance, employee benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or fibular excision. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Long Beach, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all tagged unrelated medical and administrative services under this code, suggesting a tagging error or category misclassification rather than active procurement of the procedure the code nominates.

The geographic mix spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; state and local procurement professionals should treat this Commodity classification as inactive or misapplied for orthopedic surgery contracting and verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under it.
