UNSPSC 85704148: Reposition left femoral shaft with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left femoral shaft 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 0QS945Z

UNSPSC 85704148 Reposition left femoral shaft with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve femoral shaft repositioning or externally affixed orthopedic hardware. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding or a data-collection error rather than authentic procurement under this surgical procedure classification.

The geographic distribution of recent opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing-body mix spans city retirement offices, municipal health benefits procurement, state transportation authorities, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile justice systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). State and local procurement offices do not appear to be buying orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices under this code; the code assignment warrants verification against actual source documents or internal taxonomy governance.
