UNSPSC 85703646: Reposition left femoral shaft with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left femoral shaft 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 0QS93BZ

UNSPSC 85703646 Reposition left femoral shaft with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity — naming a discrete orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance (examinations for ferry workers in Washington), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing pools (Santa Clara County), independent disability medical evaluations (Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out networks (Long Beach), and emergency medical services for youth in custody (Harris County). None of these solicitations involve femoral shaft repositioning, external fixation devices, or orthopedic surgical procedures at the commodity level.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this orthopedic procedure code to classify broader healthcare services contracts for which no more specific UNSPSC category exists. The recent opportunities instead reflect administrative, staffing, and benefits-management services that fall outside the clinical procedure domain. No representative recent opportunities directly address the work named in the code itself. If your firm specializes in orthopedic surgical devices, implants, or procedure-specific hospital services, this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement volume in those areas.
