This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right lower femur, open approach.

UNSPSC 85703268 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical removal work. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope; the opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which concern orthopedic implant removal or operative procedures.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies are predominantly county health systems and municipal retirement and human resources departments, with one state department of transportation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit medical record review and examination scheduling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this code is not a reliable signal for procurement opportunities in orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitute removal.
