UNSPSC 85705132: Insertion of internal fixation device into right toe phalanx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal 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 0QHQ04Z

UNSPSC 85705132, Insertion of internal fixation device into right toe phalanx, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices for toe phalanx fixation. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all classification for health and medical services rather than applying it to its intended purpose of surgical intervention coding.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city health system (City of Long Beach), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement activity, this code warrants close attention for classification accuracy in future opportunities before committing resources to pursue work under it.
