This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into 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 0QHK36Z

UNSPSC 85703815 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted against it do not reflect orthopedic device procurement or surgical services aligned with that clinical description. Instead, the opportunities show state and local issuing bodies using this code to solicit disability medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve intramedullary fixation devices or fibula procedures. The code shows a significant mismatch between its catalog name and the actual work being bought in the market; the recent opportunities do not support a coherent procurement narrative around the code's stated scope.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including county governments (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). No clear geographic concentration or repeat buyer pattern emerges from the six opportunities posted since mid-August 2026. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical procedure name and the health-services and staffing work actually being solicited, vendors pursuing contracts under this code should verify the accuracy of the code designation in each RFP; the code does not represent a coherent procurement category for state and local buyers in the current market.
