This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left lower femur, 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 0QPC0KZ

UNSPSC 85703261 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal classification does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations address administrative, staffing, and benefit-management functions rather than the tissue-removal surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies—including 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—appear to have applied this code as a catch-all for health services procurement, suggesting either systematic miscoding or a mismatch between the code's intended scope and its actual deployment in the state and local market.

The recent opportunities show no meaningful alignment with orthopedic tissue-substitute procedures. The largest and most substantive recent opportunity is Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical pharmacy spending of $8.7 million annually. Other representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Bidders pursuing work under this code should verify that their services actually match the specific solicitation scope rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification alone.
