UNSPSC 85703638: Reposition right lower femur with ring external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right lower femur with ring 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 0QSB3CZ

UNSPSC 85703638 Reposition right lower femur with ring external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment with this procedural definition. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit network carve-outs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none involving femoral repositioning or external fixation devices. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County). This classification mismatch signals that the code carries little relevance to orthopedic device or surgical procedure procurement at the state and local level.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for PPO-enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (258414, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually, initially due April 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant procurement activity and appears to be misapplied to health services contracting rather than surgical device or orthopedic procedure procurement.
