This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right 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 0QHB4BZ

UNSPSC 85704348 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical implants and procedures—does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no alignment to orthopedic implant procurement or orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the code has captured six diverse solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record summaries, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve external fixation devices or lower-extremity orthopedic surgery. The mismatch suggests this code receives little or no relevant activity for its stated scope and may indicate a classification error in how state and local procurement systems are tagging medical-services opportunities.

Recent opportunities span city, county, and regional health system issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing qualifications due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a non-binding RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. These opportunities reflect employer-side healthcare administration and workforce health support, not orthopedic device supply or surgical implant procurement. State and local buyers should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85704348.
