This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right femoral shaft, 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 0QC80ZZ

UNSPSC 85703408, Extirpation of matter from right femoral shaft, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedural nomenclature does not align with the work described in the recent opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations instead track independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which constitute orthopedic surgical procedures on femoral shaft fractures or pathology.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a systematic tagging error in state and local procurement databases or that this Commodity code is not actively used for the work state and local governments currently buy. The sourced opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state ferries), Texas (Harris County juvenile probation), and Florida (Collier County) between July and September 2026, but none address the orthopedic surgical intervention the code describes. Entities purchasing under this code should verify the coding accuracy in RFPs and IFBs before submitting bids on opportunities designated 85703408, as the disconnect may indicate miscoding at the point of notice posting rather than active state and local demand for the service line the code nominally covers.
