UNSPSC 85703836: Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right 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 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 0QHG36Z

UNSPSC 85703836 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical services procurement by public entities, but none of the solicitations match the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division sought occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involves procurement of intramedullary fixation devices, orthopedic implants, or related surgical supplies.

The geographic spread across these opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the work being procured—medical evaluation administration, benefit program management, occupational health surveillance, staffing services, and pharmacy claims administration—lies outside the device-procurement and surgical-procedure domain that the code designation suggests. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the actual work being bought under it signals either a data-classification error or a code that does not currently drive state and local procurement activity for the product category it nominally represents. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgical devices and internal fixation implants should verify whether this code remains active for equipment procurement or whether state and local buyers are using alternate classification schemes for these supplies.
