UNSPSC 85703855: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, 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 0QH93BZ

UNSPSC 85703855 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedure or medical device procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic fixation device implantation. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source dataset or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for meaningful buying activity.

The geographic spread of the six posted opportunities spans Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix pension boards for disability evaluations), California (Long Beach for surgical benefits, Santa Clara Health System for temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County for pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County for youth detention medical services). No state or jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent activity block. Without a coherent commodity scope reflected in actual solicitations, this code warrants placement on a watch list rather than active pursuit; prospective vendors should verify with individual procurement offices whether medical device procurement activity exists outside these posted opportunities before investing business development resources.
