UNSPSC 85704208: Replacement of left tibia with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left tibia with synthetic substitute, 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 0QRH4JZ

UNSPSC 85704208 Replacement of left tibia with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy descriptor does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code shows no relevant procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices; instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve tibial replacement or surgical prosthetics. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how the opportunities were coded or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy name and actual state and local buying practice under this code designation.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states — the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — and reflect administrative and clinical service procurement rather than orthopedic surgical supply or procedure contracting. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The geographic concentration appears in Florida and California with one Georgia opportunity, though the coding mismatch limits confidence in whether these examples represent the true scope of procurement under this code or reflect misclassification in the source data.
