UNSPSC 85703282: Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper femur, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left upper 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 0QP70JZ

UNSPSC 85703282 Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations actually buying this code's named service. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the specific prosthetic removal procedure the code describes. This mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied to broader health services procurements in the source data or represents outdated taxonomy tagging by the issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because no recent opportunities substantively match the code's nominal scope—removal of a synthetic femoral implant—this code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand for the named orthopedic procedure and should not be pursued based on current market signals under this UNSPSC classification.
