UNSPSC 85704326: Insertion of ring external fixation device into left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of ring external fixation device into left tibia, 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 0QHH4CZ

UNSPSC 85704326 (Insertion of ring external fixation device into left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The opportunities tagged to this code are overwhelmingly health-services solicitations—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical implants. The issuing bodies are health systems, county human resources divisions, pension boards, public transit authorities, and county detention departments, all procuring medical services and staffing rather than medical devices or implants.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, ferries division), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County), with no particular concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually in historical spending). The code appears to be a data-classification error rather than a deliberate tag for the work actually being procured; state and local opportunities under this UNSPSC do not reflect procurement of orthopedic fixation devices or surgical implants.
