UNSPSC 85703843: Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left lower femur, 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 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 0QHC36Z

UNSPSC 85703843 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in practice covers occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, and pharmacy benefit management—a misalignment between the code's nominal orthopedic-procedure scope and what state and local governments are actually procuring under it. The recent opportunities show little activity directly tied to orthopedic surgical implants or procedures. Instead, issuing bodies—primarily county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation departments—are soliciting administrative and clinical evaluation services that appear to have been miscoded at the commodity level. The kinds of work actually being bought include occupational medical surveillance with physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations, independent disability medical evaluation and record summarization for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management and claims administration, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with individual solicitations from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, surgical benefit carve-out for Anthem Blue Cross PPO, due October 7, 2026, anticipated contract execution April 1, 2027), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five optional one-year extensions), Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (RFP 25-8414, pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annual historical spend), County of Santa Clara Health System in California (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with five-year Qualified List), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (RFI 071626BNM, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). The code shows no clearly aligned recent opportunity activity; vendors targeting orthopedic implant or surgical-device procurement should verify code assignment before pursuit.
