UNSPSC 85704141: Reposition right lower femur with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right lower femur with 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 0QSB45Z

UNSPSC 85704141 Reposition right lower femur with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical care carve-out networks, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve femur repositioning or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or systematic mistagging of health services and benefits administration work under an inappropriately narrow clinical procedure code.

The recent opportunities sourced under this code reflect a fragmented issuing-body mix across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no decision relevance for firms focused on orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or procedure-specific equipment.
