UNSPSC 85704335: Insertion of limb lengthening 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 limb lengthening 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 0QHG48Z

UNSPSC 85704335 (Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The source records show active procurement for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty healthcare for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or limb lengthening procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error or the code's recent application to broader medical services administration beyond its nominal scope. Based on the opportunities present, the code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated orthopedic device category.

The opportunities that do carry this code span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), state departments of transportation (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), with no pattern of repeat buying under the code's nominal commodity definition. Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic insertion devices or related surgical implants under this code, pursuing activity here would require direct engagement with individual health systems or procurement offices to verify whether their actual medical equipment or surgical supply buying is tagged differently.
