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 0QB70ZZ

UNSPSC 85703419 Excision of left upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it in the recent opportunities block. The source shows no relevant recent solicitations for surgical excision procedures or orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the four recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve femoral excision or related orthopedic surgery. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification misapplied to health care administration, managed care, and public health services contracts.

The geographic distribution of the flagged opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica), with no concentrated state activity. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, a county health department, a county fire department, and a municipal fire department. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited under it, this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes under state and local government contracting.
