UNSPSC 85703407 Extirpation of matter from left femoral shaft, open approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or femoral shaft treatment. The code appears to have been assigned to procurement records that fall outside its surgical scope, suggesting a tagging or classification error rather than genuine demand for the procedure named in the code.

State and local issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington have posted these opportunities in recent months, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFP due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes; vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work required before committing resources to pursuit.
