UNSPSC 85703829: Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left tibia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left tibia, 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 0QHH36Z

UNSPSC 85703829 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left tibia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code representing a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the nominal scope—the opportunities posted are health care administration contracts for jails, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve orthopedic surgery or intramedullary fixation devices. The code appears to have been applied as a catchall classification for health care services procurement rather than reflecting actual procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code. State and local issuing bodies are using this code to solicit comprehensive medical services contracts across correctional facilities, county employee health plans, and municipal emergency services, indicating a significant mislabeling or recategorization at the posting stage rather than genuine demand for the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

Recent activity includes the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services serving approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with issuers spanning county boards of commissioners, consolidated city governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. Given the misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement content, this code does not represent a meaningful business development target for orthopedic device or surgical services vendors.
