This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower femur with synthetic 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 0QRC0JZ

UNSPSC 85703214 Replacement of left lower femur with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical implant procedures. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the actual procurement of femoral replacement implants or related surgical services. Instead, the active solicitations reveal that jurisdictions are using this code to tag diverse medical evaluation, staffing, and benefit management services that fall outside orthopedic implantology.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation and record summarization for pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out and Centers of Excellence management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, therapy, and surgical services). This fragmentation across pension administration, employee benefits, occupational health, juvenile detention, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing indicates the code is serving as a catch-all for medical service procurement rather than a precise indicator of orthopedic implant buying. Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentrated regional pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026, multiple-award pool model). The code shows active procurement volume but displays a significant mismatch between its nominal scope (orthopedic implants) and the actual work being solicited and awarded.
