UNSPSC 85704343: Insertion of intramedullary internal 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 intramedullary internal 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 0QHC46Z

UNSPSC 85704343 Insertion of intramedullary internal fixation device into left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement right now. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement activity for orthopedic surgical devices or procedures; instead, state and local jurisdictions are using this code designation to solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific intramedullary femoral fixation technique—and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC hierarchy and how state and local agencies are tagging health services contracts.

The recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (originally due April 9, 2026). Issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county commissioners' procurement divisions across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Because the code does not align with the work being bought, it carries little value as a category for business development targeting—vendors pursuing these opportunities should monitor the underlying service codes for occupational health services, employee health plan administration, and medical staffing rather than relying on this Commodity designation for activity signals.
