UNSPSC 85703818: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into 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 0QHJ3DZ

UNSPSC 85703818 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code from clinical taxonomy, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical implant procurement. This classification mismatch indicates the code is not actively used for procurement of goods or services matching its nominal scope in state and local markets.

State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities to this code include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city human resources department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry service locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The persistent misalignment between the code's orthopedic device scope and the health-services-focused opportunities tagged to it suggests vendors should verify code accuracy before investing pursuit effort on opportunities posted under this classification.
