UNSPSC 85703873: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0QH734Z

UNSPSC 85703873 Insertion of internal fixation device into left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect surgical device procurement or orthopedic implant supply. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical care network management — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure.

The source includes six recent state and local opportunities dated July through September 2026, spanning Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies are city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' boards, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with evaluation weighting 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple award). The code shows no relevant recent activity in orthopedic surgical device insertion or related implant procurement; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited under it suggests a classification error in the state and local procurement system.
