UNSPSC 85703802: Release right fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 0QNJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703802 Release right fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or fibula procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were classified or that this code is being used as a catch-all administrative placeholder rather than to identify specific surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), and municipal employee-benefits programs (Long Beach), with no genuine fibula-release procurement visible in the recent record.

Because the recent opportunities show no actual solicitations for fibula-release procedures or related orthopedic surgical services, this code does not present a meaningful pursuit opportunity at this time. State and local governments may purchase orthopedic surgical services through health-system contracts, employee benefit carve-outs, or occupational health programs, but those procurements are not being tagged to this code in current activity. A business development professional should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification for surgical orthopedic services before committing resources to monitor this category.
