This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left upper femur, external 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 0QW7XJZ

UNSPSC 85702942, Revision of synthetic substitute in left upper femur, external approach, is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that surgical service. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code span medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with procurement of orthopedic implant revision surgery or related surgical supplies. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously by the issuing bodies, and does not represent a viable market segment for orthopedic surgery or implant vendors pursuing state and local government work.

The recent opportunities include an RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, total contract value $750,000 over five years); an RFP from the City of Long Beach for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence for government employees (due October 7, 2026); a Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); an RFI from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); an RFP from Collier County for Pharmacy Benefit Management services with estimated historical annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026, with an April 9 date that appears to be a data-entry error); and an RFQ from Santa Clara Health System for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). No procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code appears in these opportunities.
