UNSPSC 85704125: Reposition right tibia with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right tibia with monoplanar 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 0QSG4BZ

UNSPSC 85704125 Reposition right tibia with monoplanar external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical care networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no substantive relationship to orthopedic fixation procedures or surgical technique nomenclature. The code appears to describe a specific surgical intervention that does not map to the healthcare administration, occupational health screening, or benefits management services currently being solicited by state and local buying bodies.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the orthopedic surgical scope the code's title suggests. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida but do not address the procedure-specific clinical or surgical work the code nominally describes. The code's use in state and local procurement appears to reflect a taxonomy misclassification rather than genuine demand for orthopedic fixation device placement or related surgical services.
