UNSPSC 85702955: Reposition left lower femur, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left lower 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 0QSCXZZ

UNSPSC 85702955 Reposition left lower femur, external approach is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of the UN taxonomy, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, the code is tagged for medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of femoral repositioning surgery. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader healthcare service procurement. The actual work being solicited under this code spans independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical examinations for transportation workers, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy claims administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, and specialty care for detained youth. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, counties, municipal health systems, and special-purpose pension boards.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 and baseline volume of approximately 75 disability evaluations annually.

Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The code shows no recent opportunities that actually involve orthopedic surgical procedures.
