UNSPSC 85703415 Excision of left lower femur, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name refers to a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially from that scope. The code shows minimal relevant activity aligned with its stated procedure title. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These range from clinical service delivery to benefits administration and workforce management — none directly execute the named surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, counties, cities, health systems, and municipal retirement offices, indicating a fragmented buyer base spanning transportation, public safety, human resources, and detention settings.

The geographic footprint includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no standout repeat buyers in the recent record. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The code shows no recent opportunities that actually solicit the surgical procedure named in its taxonomy; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work being bought suggests either tagging error or administrative misalignment in the procurement system.
