UNSPSC 85703222: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0QR80KZ

UNSPSC 85703222, "Replacement of right femoral shaft with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach," is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its procedural surgical scope. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures, prosthetic device procurement, or surgical implantation services that the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county procurement on behalf of benefits consortia (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure classification and the actual procurement scope — which centers on medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services — suggests this code may have been misapplied during opportunity tagging or that the code's scope has drifted significantly from state and local buying practice. No opportunities in the recent block describe purchasing or contracting for orthopedic prosthetics, surgical implant devices, or surgical implantation procedures. Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities, this code presents minimal pursuit opportunity at present for vendors in the device, implant, or surgical services space.
