UNSPSC 85703951: Destruction of left fibula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0Q5K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703951 Destruction of left fibula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity-tier code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its surgical scope. The code's nominal classification refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not match that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, and youth detention medical services—none of which directly concern percutaneous fibular destruction. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured suggests either a coding error in the opportunities or a misapplication of the taxonomy to health services procurement more broadly.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and benefits offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determination support with a $750,000 five-year ceiling, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering audiology, radiology, orthopedic, and other ancillary clinical categories. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, though the code's actual relevance to state and local procurement remains unclear given the taxonomy misalignment.
