UNSPSC 85703287 Removal of synthetic substitute from right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under it are seeking occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical care carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of prosthetic hip components. The mismatch suggests that the code has been misapplied to these opportunities, or that the tagging reflects an administrative artifact rather than the actual scope of work being purchased.

The recent opportunities themselves span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, max compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement professionals with expertise in the surgical supply, orthopedic device, or hospital material management categories.
