This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right lower femur, open 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 0QWB0JZ

UNSPSC 85703027 Revision of synthetic substitute in right lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—revision of a synthetic femoral implant performed via open surgical approach—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of surgical implant products or orthopedic procedure services. Instead, issuers have tagged opportunities in medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, health plan surgical carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services, none of which map to the scope of the code's stated commodity description.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the mismatch between code and actual solicitation scope limits the relevance of this geographic characterization. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its ostensible orthopedic-procedure commodity scope, signaling either a tagging error in the procurement management systems or that procurement officers are applying this code outside its intended taxonomy tier.
