UNSPSC 85703540: Revision of internal 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 internal 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 0QW834Z

UNSPSC 85703540 Revision of internal fixation device in right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code encompasses occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluation coordination, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefit plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic device revision procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities listed were incorrectly tagged to this UNSPSC category.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city pension offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington State, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for public safety pension disability determinations at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, with expected contract execution April 1, 2027). Because this code's nominal definition bears no meaningful relationship to the work being solicited, business development activity should focus on the specific health services and staffing opportunities rather than relying on UNSPSC categorization as a reliable filtering or targeting tool.
