This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85704346 Insertion of hybrid external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of surgical devices or orthopedic procedures themselves. Instead, the opportunities center on health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical care networks — none of which align with the code's explicit name. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to health services opportunities that fall outside its intended commodity scope. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city and county health systems, county retirement boards, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of the State Ferries), the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and county governments represent the jurisdictional mix.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The Collier County Board of Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services historically spending approximately $8.7 million annually represents the largest identified opportunity. The code shows no direct procurement of orthopedic devices or surgical procedures; businesses seeking to pursue opportunities here should recognize that the actual buying activity centers on healthcare administration, staffing networks, and managed care services rather than medical devices or surgical implants.
