UNSPSC 85703648: Reposition left femoral shaft with 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 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 0QS935Z

UNSPSC 85703648 Reposition left femoral shaft with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve femoral shaft repositioning or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the tagging system or a misalignment between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement systems are applying it in practice.

The issuing bodies across these records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West, with opportunities from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations with responses due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with responses due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and surgical services) with responses due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant procurement activity for firms specializing in orthopedic surgical procedures or devices.
