UNSPSC 85703539: Revision of external fixation device in right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right femoral shaft, 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 0QW835Z

UNSPSC 85703539, Revision of external fixation device in right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities posted under it, which span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic devices or percutaneous femoral shaft revisions. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or to capture broader medical and health services administration work that falls outside the code's intended commodity definition.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county health and human services departments, along with one state transportation agency's ferry system. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity for the orthopedic device work its name suggests and should not be relied upon for pursuing state and local opportunities in that space.
