UNSPSC 85704359: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0QH944Z

UNSPSC 85704359 Insertion of internal fixation device into left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect medical and occupational health services that do not align with orthopedic surgical device placement — the code's stated clinical procedure. The three substantive recent solicitations involve independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). A fourth opportunity (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department) sought information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth without specifying contract terms or procurement timeline. A fifth opportunity (Collier County) addresses pharmacy benefit management services, unrelated to the code's scope. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic device name and the actual medical services being procured suggests either miscoding on the issuing bodies' side or that the code category itself is not actively used for the state and local surgical-device procurement it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Harris County), state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), and city municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida, though the volume of truly aligned opportunities is minimal. No recent state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for orthopedic internal fixation devices or related surgical hardware procurement appears in the source material. Prospective vendors targeting this code should verify actual issuing-body tagging in their primary procurement channels, as the code's current activity may reflect data-entry error rather than genuine market demand in state and local healthcare procurement.
