This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85703073 Supplement right femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical implants—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code are actually for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants or surgical devices.

The code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the closest substantive match to health services procurement, though neither addresses orthopedic implants. The City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) includes orthopedic procedures such as knee, hip, shoulder, and spine surgeries among its covered specialties, but the solicitation targets Centers of Excellence networks and bundled payment models rather than device suppliers. Business development professionals should verify the UNSPSC tagging with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the mismatch between the commodity definition and recent posting practice suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data error in the taxonomy assignment.
