This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right 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 0QH844Z

UNSPSC 85704366, Insertion of internal fixation device into right femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal medical procedure scope and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services delivery for detained youth, surgical care-out programs for employee health plans, independent medical evaluation for retirement disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing. The code is being applied to general health plan administration, benefits management, and occupational medicine—activities that fall outside the specific orthopedic surgical device insertion described in the code name.

The issuing bodies soliciting against this code are county health systems, state transportation agencies, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, and municipal procurement departments. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance effort (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (due April 9, 2026 with approximately $8.7 million historical annual spend), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000) represent the largest and most recent postings. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. Because the code's actual operational content diverges materially from its title, vendors pursuing work under this code should confirm that their service lines align with the broader health service and benefits administration scope being tagged rather than assume orthopedic implant procurement.
