UNSPSC 85703529: Revision of external fixation device in right lower femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right lower femur, percutaneous 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 0QWB35Z

UNSPSC 85703529 Revision of external fixation device in right lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that state and local government procurement offices have tagged to solicitations for medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, healthcare benefit administration, and clinical staffing services—work that diverges substantially from the code's nominal scope of surgical device revision. Recent opportunities show state and local health systems, retirement boards, and county human resources divisions procuring occupational medical examinations, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary clinical staffing through RFPs and RFQs. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), state transportation departments (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). These are predominantly mid-sized to large urban and regional health administration functions rather than surgical-device or orthopedic-focused procurements.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services managing knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, heart, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million and a three-year initial term effective January 1, 2026. The code shows little alignment with its stated surgical-device scope; business development professionals should verify actual procurement intent when this code appears on state and local notices.
