This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right 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 0QW645Z

UNSPSC 85704049 Revision of external fixation device in right upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure designation, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with orthopedic surgical implants or device revision services. Instead, the opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve external fixation device procurement or revision procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). This suggests either systematic code miscoding by posting jurisdictions or divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy hierarchy and the actual work being tagged.

The geographic activity in the source spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries), California (County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization services for public safety pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 dependents with an estimated $8.7 million annual pharmacy spend. The code shows no relevant recent activity for external fixation device procurement or surgical revision procedures; business development professionals evaluating this Commodity code should verify whether their service offerings map to health professional staffing, occupational medicine administration, or pharmaceutical management rather than orthopedic implant markets.
