UNSPSC 85703621: Reposition left tibia with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia with internal 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 0QSH34Z

UNSPSC 85703621 Reposition left tibia with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that procedural scope. The code does not appear in active use for state and local procurement activity related to orthopedic surgery or tibial fixation devices. Instead, the few opportunities nominally tagged under this code span unrelated medical services: occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These opportunities reflect municipal benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and detention-center healthcare—not orthopedic implants or surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either coding error at the point of posting or that this code is not in active use for its stated commodity definition within state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Specific opportunities include Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for employee health plans (RFP, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Without a clear connection between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not signal actionable procurement opportunity for vendors in orthopedic devices or surgical fixation services.
