UNSPSC 85703272: Removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, 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 0QP90JZ

UNSPSC 85703272 Removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that maps to orthopedic surgical procedure coding, yet recent state and local opportunities do not align with this clinical taxonomy. The most recent solicitations under the code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or femoral shaft procedures. The issuing bodies include Arizona public pension systems (City of Phoenix), California municipalities (City of Long Beach), Washington state departments (WSDOT/Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county employee benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used for state and local medical services contracting. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) represent the most clinically relevant opportunities, though neither involves orthopedic surgery. The Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending of $8.7 million) and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) expand further into administrative healthcare services. Given the absence of recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal services under this code, business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement bodies are using alternate coding for surgical services or whether this code sees minimal activity in the public sector market.
