This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right fibula, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85703821 Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — does not align with the solicitations tagged under it in the recent opportunities block. Those opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which describe procurement of the implantable device or procedure named in the code itself. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the misalignment between code and actual work suggests the code assignment is administrative or taxonomic artifact rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers.

The most recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 focus on medical services contracting rather than device procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluation and records summary services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 statewide ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants, external fixation devices, or the procedural implantation work the code describes. State and local buyers do not appear to use this code for actual procurement activity.
