UNSPSC 85703409 Extirpation of matter from left upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not reflect the work actually being procured under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities, rather than genuine demand for the surgical service the code describes.

The issuing bodies include city pension offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employees' health systems (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span geographic diversity: Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California; Washington State; Harris County, Texas; Collier County, Florida; and Santa Clara County, California.
