UNSPSC 85703108: Resection of right femoral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right femoral shaft, 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 0QT80ZZ

UNSPSC 85703108 Resection of right femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities identified in the source. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities constitute the performance or procurement of right femoral shaft resection procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source records or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health care administration and evaluation services rather than for discrete surgical interventions.

The code shows little recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local buyers posting under this code are primarily county and city health systems, county procurement offices on behalf of employee health benefit programs, and specialized authorities such as the Washington State Department of Transportation and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, all seeking administrative, staffing, or benefit-management services rather than surgical procedures. The geographic distribution spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but the code's misalignment with actual procurements limits its utility for vendors offering surgical services or orthopedic-focused solutions. Buyers and vendors should verify code alignment in RFP or RFQ submissions, as the current classification does not reliably represent the market activity or procurement intent under this designation.
