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 0QSC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703139 Reposition left lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with the procedure name. The recent opportunities in the dataset are for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic repositioning surgery or operative procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual solicitations suggests potential miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement taxonomy or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local governments for surgical procedure contracting.

The limited posted opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries occupational medical surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department youth detention medical services). Without a coherent set of state and local opportunities actually procuring under this code's stated scope, pursuing this Commodity code does not present a clear business development opportunity in state and local orthopedic surgical contracting at this time.
