About UNSPSC 85703225

UNSPSC 85703225 Replacement of left upper femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity; the code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect procurement of that service or related implants and surgical supplies. Instead, the recent opportunities in the source represent requests for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care network management, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations fall outside the scope of orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure fulfillment that the code's name suggests.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual services being solicited indicates that either the tagging is incorrect or the code is being applied to broader medical services that do not align with orthopedic implant supply or surgical procedure delivery. The 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—are government entities procuring medical administration, staffing, benefit management, and occupational health services rather than orthopedic surgical products or services. Absent opportunities that reflect actual orthopedic implant procurement, replacement procedures, or related surgical supplies, pursue alternative codes that better align with your firm's service offerings.
