UNSPSC 85703942: Division of right fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of 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 0Q8J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703942 Division of right fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose designation suggests orthopedic surgical procedure coding, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect instead occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, specialty surgery carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve fibular division procedures or surgical outcomes. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracting that bears no relationship to the code's clinical name. State and local buyers under this code span county health systems, city pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and municipal employees' health plan administrators.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County Health System, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no standout single jurisdiction dominating recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated clinical scope and the procurement activity actually being pursued, this code warrants investigation for data quality issues before pursuit decisions are made.
