UNSPSC 85704355: Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, 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 0QH94BZ

UNSPSC 85704355 Insertion of monoplanar external fixation device into left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC comprise independent medical evaluations for disability retirement benefits, surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence networks, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical device insertion. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure for femoral fracture fixation) does not match the procurement activity the source records, and the mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's technical definition and how state and local procurement offices are classifying health services contracts.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources departments (Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity appears in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No single jurisdiction appears as a standout repeat buyer under this code. Given the absence of relevant recent activity aligned with the code's stated commodity definition, pursuing vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether the UNSPSC tagging reflects their actual procurement intent before investing in proposal development.
