UNSPSC 85703213: Replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous 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 0QRC0KZ

UNSPSC 85703213 Replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under this specific classification. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve femur replacement surgery or the surgical implantation of prosthetic devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the originating procurement systems or a systematic misalignment between UNSPSC coding practice and operational procurement taxonomy in these jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county government benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16) valued at $750,000 over five years, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (posted August 26, due October 7), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (posted August 25, due October 9). Given the systematic disconnect between code definition and procurement substance, this code does not represent a viable pursuit target for firms specializing in orthopedic implant supply, surgical services, or device distribution.
