UNSPSC 85703219: Replacement of left femoral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left femoral shaft 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 0QR90KZ

UNSPSC 85703219 Replacement of left femoral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve femoral shaft replacement or any specific surgical implant or procedure.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local agencies tag health services procurement. The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—and represent administrative and ancillary health-service contracting rather than surgical supply or procedure-specific purchasing. No opportunities in the block involve acquisition of femoral shaft implants, orthopedic surgical devices, or anything directly related to the code's stated commodity. Firms evaluating this code for state and local pursuit should treat it as dormant for practical procurement purposes and seek opportunities under broader health services or medical supplies codes instead.
