UNSPSC 85704035: Revision of internal fixation device in left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QW944Z

UNSPSC 85704035, Revision of internal fixation device in left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the state and local procurement activity the code appears to tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration and occupational medical services — independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational surveillance examinations, youth detention medical care coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implants or surgical procedures as the code name suggests. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for healthcare contracting activity rather than as a narrow device-specific taxonomy entry. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and large city benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), reflecting broad-based state and local healthcare purchasing across administrative, occupational, and employee-benefit domains.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and West. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations through October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations by October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit carve-out program proposals by October 7, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties by October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's orthopedic-device nominal scope and the healthcare administration and occupational-services substance of the tagged opportunities, this code shows limited utility as a signal of actual procurement demand in the state and local market.
