UNSPSC 85704333: Insertion of ring external fixation device into right 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 right 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 0QHG4CZ

UNSPSC 85704333 Insertion of ring external fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have incorrectly tagged to administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing solicitations. The issuing bodies include county human resources divisions, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation agencies, city retirement offices, and juvenile probation departments, each seeking healthcare services contracts rather than medical device or surgical intervention procurement.

The geographic spread includes California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (statewide ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), representing fragmented activity across multiple regions rather than concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31) seeking physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's misalignment with the solicitation scope signals that vendors pursuing activity under this number should verify actual scope alignment with issuing bodies before committing resources, as the UNSPSC tagging does not predict the work being bought.
