UNSPSC 85704315: Insertion of intramedullary internal 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 intramedullary internal 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 0QHK46Z

UNSPSC 85704315 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic fixation, yet recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations directly concern intramedullary fibular fixation devices or the procedure itself. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county health consortiums (Collier County). The recent opportunities reflect administrative and support services in occupational health, clinical staffing, and third-party benefits management rather than procurement of orthopedic devices or surgical supplies.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix retirement services), California (Long Beach employee benefits, Santa Clara health staffing), Washington (state ferry worker medical surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy services), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention services), with response dates clustering between September and October 2026. The code appears to be miscoded across these opportunities, and no recent state or local solicitations targeting orthopedic internal fixation devices or related surgical implants are present in the source material. The activity actually tagged under this code does not align with its stated scope, making it unclear whether the code accurately reflects procurement patterns for the device it nominally describes.
