UNSPSC 85703846: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right 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 0QHB3DZ

UNSPSC 85703846 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to that scope. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic device insertion or the clinical procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch between the code's abstract title and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic tagging error or that this code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare service procurement unrelated to its formal definition.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier), Washington (statewide ferry operations), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual applications with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no cohesive procurement signal and does not track a recognizable commodity or service family in state and local practice.
