UNSPSC 85703228: Replacement of right upper femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right upper femur 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 0QR60KZ

UNSPSC 85703228 "Replacement of right upper femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of that service or related implants and supplies. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The few opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve femoral replacement procedures or orthopedic implants. This mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either tagging inconsistency within state and local systems or a code that is rarely solicited for its intended purpose.

The opportunities that do appear under the code originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, County of Santa Clara), and regional health authorities. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. The most concrete recent example is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Neither opportunity involves the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes, indicating that vendors pursuing activity tagged under this code should verify alignment with actual buyer intent through RFP documents and pre-bid communications rather than relying on the code classification alone.
