UNSPSC 85704044: Revision of external fixation device in left upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left upper femur, 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 0QW745Z

UNSPSC 85704044 (Revision of external fixation device in left upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity. The opportunities tagged to this code instead span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance for state ferry employees, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—a collection of healthcare administrative and staffing services wholly unrelated to orthopedic device revision. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate this mismatch. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services—disability medical record summaries and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a signal of genuine procurement demand for the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes.
