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 0QQ90ZZ

UNSPSC 85703237 Repair left femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedures, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical repair work. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational health surveillance, pension-board medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical-benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or femoral repair. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed or misapplied in practice. State and local buyers posting under this code in the past two months include city retirement offices, county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. No recent opportunities are directly purchasing femoral fracture repair or related orthopedic surgical services.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with individual solicitations posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026, seeking physician-supervised examinations at 14 ferry locations statewide) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension-board disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years). Given the absence of recent orthopedic surgical-repair opportunities under this code, pursuit should be deferred pending clarification of the actual scope being procured or correction of the code assignment by issuing bodies.
