UNSPSC 85703742: Removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, 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 0QPK3JZ

UNSPSC 85703742 Removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the actual work being solicited under it in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent administrative and operational health services procurement, not the surgical intervention named in the code title, and they suggest either a classification mismatch in the source data or a code applied to health services contracts without proper commodity alignment.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). The code appears to function as a catch-all health services classification rather than a procedure-specific procurement vehicle, making it unsuitable as a targeting mechanism for vendors pursuing surgical or clinical service contracts.
