UNSPSC 85704142 Reposition right lower femur with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet the recent opportunities posted under it do not reflect orthopedic surgery procurement at all. Instead, state and local bodies have tagged opportunities spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgery benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or the specific procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or carries minimal relevance to state and local contracting as currently practiced.

The recent opportunities do span multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgery benefits administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographically, activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. A business development professional evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether the actual work sought by a customer aligns with orthopedic surgical procedures, since current tagging does not reflect that scope.
