UNSPSC 85703902: Extirpation of matter from right fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right fibula, 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 0QCJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703902 Extirpation of matter from right fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited under this taxonomy entry. The source shows no recent state and local opportunities purchasing fibular extraction procedures or related orthopedic surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical network carve-outs for health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or fibular procedures. This represents a clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought.

The issuing bodies in the source are geographically dispersed municipalities and county health systems: the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. No jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent opportunities block. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Given the misalignment between the code definition and actual procurement activity, this code does not represent a coherent or active procurement category for orthopedic surgical services at the state and local level. Firms pursuing state and local contracts for fibular extraction or similar orthopedic procedures should verify the correct UNSPSC taxonomy assignment rather than rely on this code for opportunity identification.
