UNSPSC 85703305 Release left lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no activity aligned with orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical evaluation, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — services unrelated to the procedural specificity of the code's name. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations under its pension board (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), and Collier County is soliciting Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 7,200 total members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity, with the opportunities posted under it plainly misaligned to the code's orthopedic procedure scope.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic spread across the Southwest, California, and Pacific Northwest. The source provides no evidence of repeat buyers or concentrated activity under this code. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal surgical procedure definition and the medical services, benefits administration, and staffing management actually being procured, this code appears to be a data classification error rather than an active procurement category for state and local orthopedic surgery supplies or related products.
