UNSPSC 85703872: Insertion of external fixation device into left upper femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left upper 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 0QH735Z

UNSPSC 85703872 Insertion of external fixation device into left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefits carve-out for city employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County) — involve medical administration, occupational health screening, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic implant insertion procedures or surgical device procurement. The mismatch between the code's name (a specific surgical procedure involving an external fixation implant) and the actual work being solicited (benefits administration, occupational health, and staffing services) indicates that this code does not currently map active state and local procurement in orthopedic device installation or surgical implant supply.

State and local procurement activity under this code, as tagged in recent opportunities, does not reflect the orthopedic or surgical device scope the code nominally describes. Business development professionals evaluating state and local opportunities in orthopedic implants, surgical fixation devices, or related medical device procurement should verify coding accuracy in specific RFPs rather than rely on this code classification as currently indexed.
