UNSPSC 85704116: Reposition left tibia with hybrid external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tibia with hybrid external fixation device, 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 0QSH4DZ

UNSPSC 85704116 Reposition left tibia with hybrid external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detainees—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or use of this clinical taxonomy code as a generic catch-all for health services procurement that does not reflect the code's intended specificity.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county public safety agencies—a diverse mix across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not accurately describe the work state and local governments are actually buying at the moment and merits scrutiny for reclassification or verification before pursuing.
