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 0QQ7XZZ

UNSPSC 85702969 Repair left upper femur, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally identifies orthopedic surgical repair procedures, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not align with direct surgical service delivery. Instead, the solicitations reveal state and local governments buying administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and specialty surgical networks — none of which constitute repair procedures themselves. The code shows significant mismatch between its taxonomy name and actual procurement activity, rendering it of limited relevance for vendors offering surgical repair services.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect diverse public-sector medical administration across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span state departments, county governments, city procurement offices, and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none represent direct surgical repair work — the code's nominal scope. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for surgical service providers and conduct taxonomy verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
