UNSPSC 85703308 Release right femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical implants or orthopedic devices. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or the opportunities have been incorrectly tagged in the source material. State and local procurement offices posting these opportunities — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are buying administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or devices.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with response dates clustered between late September and early October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract value and an October 16, 2026 deadline; and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical procedure description.
