This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0QPC0JZ

UNSPSC 85703262 Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it bear no relationship to surgical device removal or orthopedic implant procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural scope; the opportunities posted instead address medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve synthetic femoral implant removal or orthopedic surgical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a significant divergence between UNSPSC coding intent and field practice. The opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and examination coordination services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options to extend). No opportunities in this block address orthopedic implant removal, surgical procurement, or device-related contracting.
