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 0QHB48Z

UNSPSC 85704349 Insertion of limb lengthening external fixation device into right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows no solicitations aligned with orthopedic implant devices or surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention healthcare services — all administrative, staffing, or benefit-management functions rather than medical devices or surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have misclassified these opportunities or that the code is being used as a default or catch-all category for health services that do not fit cleanly elsewhere in the taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), and a city employee benefits office (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation with proposals due October 7, 2026. Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. No recent opportunities in this code's source material reflect actual procurement of orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or the procedure named in the code's description.
