UNSPSC 85703833: Insertion of ring external fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of ring external fixation device into right 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 0QHG3CZ

UNSPSC 85703833 Insertion of ring external fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative health services procurement — disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant devices or operative procedures. This appears to be a classification mismatch; the code shows minimal relevance to the work state and local governments are actively buying under this designation.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span county health systems (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal retirement administrations (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026).
