This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right upper femur, external approach.

UNSPSC 85702947 Revision of synthetic substitute in right upper femur, external approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little connection to the orthopedic implant revision itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — a range of healthcare administration and staffing services bearing no direct relation to femoral prosthesis revision. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources departments, state transportation authorities, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems, indicating broad use of healthcare procurement across municipal, county, and state jurisdictions. The code shows active recent solicitation activity across multiple states and service lines, but none align with the code's stated scope of orthopedic surgery.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with representative recent opportunities including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, with an April 2026 deadline now passed). The code demonstrates significant procurement activity, but the mismatch between the nominal orthopedic-procedure scope and the actual healthcare-services opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular UNSPSC designation is being used as a catch-all for healthcare-related work. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether opportunities of interest fall within their actual pursuit scope.
