UNSPSC 85703620: Reposition left tibia with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia 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 0QSH35Z

UNSPSC 85703620 Reposition left tibia with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities posted show no purchases of orthopedic surgical services, medical devices, or procedure-related supplies matching the code's definition. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve tibial fixation or orthopedic surgical intervention.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span corrections departments, county human resources and health benefit divisions, county health departments, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California, though the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates either a classification error in the procurement system or a misapplication of the code to these opportunities. The recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of Commissioners RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees, Monroe County Board of Commissioners RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services, and Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 455 (due October 16, 2025) for a fire department medical director. Because the code shows no recent relevant activity in actual orthopedic surgery procurement, it represents a low-priority code for vendors pursuing state and local healthcare or medical device contracts.
