UNSPSC 85702968 Repair right femoral shaft, external approach is a Commodity code that appears rarely in state and local procurement activity and does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent postings. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic repair work. The issuing bodies range across city retirement offices, county government human resources divisions, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and special-district health consortiums. No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer under this code in the recent-opportunities block.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (approximately 75 annual disability medical record summaries and psychiatric examinations for public safety personnel retirement determinations, with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry personnel across 14 Washington locations); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services on a non-exclusive, no-guaranteed-work basis). The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge substantially, signaling potential data-quality issues in the state and local procurement system's tagging of these opportunities.
