UNSPSC 85703550: Revision of internal fixation device in right upper femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right upper 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 0QW634Z

UNSPSC 85703550, Revision of internal fixation device in right upper femur, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that state and local procurement records show bears no alignment with the medical services and staffing work actually being solicited under this taxonomy entry. The recent state and local opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance (baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers), disability medical evaluation services for pension determinations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency hospital care — none of which involve orthopedic device revision procedures or surgical implant supply. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been misapplied to unrelated service categories.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension-related disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (benefits carve-out administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code shows no genuine orthopedic device procurement activity in the recent opportunities block, no representative solicitations exist for the work the code nominally describes. Firms pursuing actual orthopedic device contracts should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before investing business development effort against this particular code.
