UNSPSC 85704311: Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left fibula, 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 0QHK4DZ

UNSPSC 85704311 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit implantable devices or surgical services aligned with that scope. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record review, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procurement or implantation of external fixation devices for fibular fracture repair. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement systems or that this particular UNSPSC code is not actively used for its stated purpose in current state and local government purchasing.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city workforce agencies (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with recent solicitations ranging from August through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (originally due April 9, 2026, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually). The code appears to be systematically misaligned with the services state and local jurisdictions are actually purchasing under it.
