UNSPSC 85705327: Insertion of external fixation device into right toe phalanx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into right toe phalanx, 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 0QHQ35Z

UNSPSC 85705327, Insertion of external fixation device into right toe phalanx, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on a single anatomical site, yet recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out programs—none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or podiatric surgery. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to health services opportunities that fall outside the device procurement scope the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse state and local issuing bodies including the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County in Florida, the County of Santa Clara Health System in California, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas. No standout repeat buyer emerges from the limited set. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state. Representative solicitations include WSDOT's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026. Neither opportunity involves orthopedic fixation devices or procedures that match the code's stated scope.
