This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right femoral shaft with intramedullary internal fixation device, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85703654 Reposition right femoral shaft with intramedullary internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or intramedullary fixation devices. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet state and local procurement offices have applied it to a broad range of medical administration, staffing, and benefit-management services. This pattern suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic drift in how the code has been deployed in state and local systems.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county human services agencies. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries personnel across 14 locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, RFP due October 16, 2026 with total contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for employees and retirees, RFP due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, RFP due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code shows recent activity in Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no clear geographic concentration. The mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the actual buying activity suggests that a prospector should verify coding accuracy directly with each issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
