UNSPSC 85703613: Reposition right fibula with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right fibula with external fixation device, 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 0QSJ35Z

UNSPSC 85703613 (Reposition right fibula with external fixation device, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgery activity. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical care for detained youth — none of which involve fibula repositioning or external fixation devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a data classification error in the posting system or use of this code as a catch-all for diverse health services procurement unrelated to the specific surgical intervention named.

The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation for Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System (RFP for temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). No procurement under this code meaningfully addresses the titled procedure.
