UNSPSC 85703220: Replacement of left femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left femoral shaft 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 0QR90JZ

UNSPSC 85703220 Replacement of left femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relation to orthopedic implant procurement or surgical supply contracting. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure networks through centers of excellence, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve femoral shaft replacement or orthopedic implants. This code shows a significant mismatch between its UNSPSC name and the work actually being procured by issuing bodies. The recent opportunities span health system administration, employee benefits management, and occupational health functions rather than orthopedic surgery or medical device supply.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity centers in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with actual procurement activity, vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the true commodity classification of their services in their target jurisdiction's contracting documents.
