This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right toe phalanx, open 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 0QHQ05Z

UNSPSC 85705131 Insertion of external fixation device into right toe phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not procure under its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a substantial mismatch: the solicitations posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve orthopedic surgical devices or surgical procedures on the foot. The code classification appears to reflect a data-tagging error rather than actual procurement practice under this Commodity code.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county human resources divisions across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) valued at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the clinical procedure it nominally describes.
