UNSPSC 85704743: Insertion of external fixation device into left patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left patella, percutaneous 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 0QHF35Z

UNSPSC 85704743 Insertion of external fixation device into left patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical implants. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple issuing bodies' tagging systems; the opportunities solicited represent healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services rather than procurement of medical devices or implantation procedures. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the recent activity block as evidence that UNSPSC 85704743 is not currently a reliable signal of state and local demand for external fixation hardware or related implant products.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California, with posting dates concentrated between July and September 2026 and response deadlines falling in October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs due October 7, 2026; and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. If procurement activity under this code is a priority, direct inquiries to the issuing bodies' procurement offices to clarify whether UNSPSC 85704743 is the correct classification for orthopedic fixation device supply contracts, or whether state and local demand for such devices is currently being tagged under a different code.
