This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left lower femur, 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 0QHC3BZ

UNSPSC 85703841 "Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left lower femur, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical orthopedic procedure, but state and local governments are not soliciting that procedure as a product or service under this taxonomy code. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical care management networks, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the insertion of orthopedic fixation devices. The mismatch indicates a classification error in the source data or an artifact of how issuing bodies have tagged opportunities, rather than genuine procurement activity under this code's stated scope.

The six most recent opportunities show activity across state health agencies, county human resources and health systems, cities, and specialized public bodies. Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026). The City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (RFP due October 7, 2026). Collier County in Florida and Santa Clara County in California posted opportunities for pharmacy benefit management and temporary clinical staffing respectively. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth. No recent opportunities actually involve the procurement of orthopedic surgical devices or the specific procedure named in the code.
