This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left lower femur with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0QUC07Z

UNSPSC 85703065 Supplement left lower femur with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no direct correlation to the code's stated scope. The code appears in procurement databases alongside medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, medical record summarization for disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implants or surgical tissue substitution. This mismatch suggests either data-quality issues in how the code has been assigned or that the issuing bodies are using the code as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than as a specific marker for orthopedic procedures. The recent opportunities instead reflect broader government health-system purchasing: occupational medical services for ferry workers, specialty surgical networks for municipal employees, pharmacy administration, disability medical evaluations for public safety pensions, and staffing pools for hospital ancillary services.

The issuing bodies are primarily large municipal and county health authorities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Health Care Consortium, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic spread covers California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, respiratory care, and surgical services.
