UNSPSC 85703618: Reposition left tibia with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia with monoplanar 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 0QSH3BZ

UNSPSC 85703618 Reposition left tibia with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic fixation, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it instead solicit medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing services—none of which involve the surgical intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local systems submitting these solicitations or a fundamental misalignment between the code's technical definition and how procurement offices are applying it.

Activity under this code shows no relevant recent opportunities. The six posted solicitations spanning August through September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office); surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach); occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department); pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, Florida); and temporary ancillary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None procure orthopedic surgical devices, fixation equipment, or procedural supplies. Until the underlying classification is corrected or relevant surgical-device-related solicitations appear, this code does not represent actionable procurement opportunity in state and local markets.
