UNSPSC 85704342: Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left lower femur, 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 left lower femur, 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 0QHC48Z

UNSPSC 85704342, Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity among state and local government buyers. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged to it. Recent opportunities under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations span medical administration, occupational health screening, youth detention healthcare, and staffing — none of which target the device insertion procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation systems, county health departments, and county health systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure specificity and the actual work being procured — chiefly administrative, occupational health, and staffing services — suggests either a systematic tagging error in state and local procurement systems or a code that remains inactive for its intended purpose. Vendors pursuing state and local opportunity flow should treat this code as inactive for procurement planning purposes.
