UNSPSC 85703865 Insertion of external fixation device into right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurement rather than medical devices or surgical implants.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and boards (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), city agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose districts. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope; vendors pursuing this UNSPSC should verify category assignment with the issuing procurement office before developing proposals.
