UNSPSC 85703435: Drainage of right femoral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0Q980ZZ

UNSPSC 85703435 Drainage of right femoral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving drainage of a femoral shaft via open approach—does not align with the medical services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this designation. Recent opportunities posted against this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic surgical drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-taxonomy error in how opportunities were tagged or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for services they actually buy.

The geographic spread of the misdirected opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning county human resources departments, city retirement offices, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. This geographic and issuer-type diversity reflects the breadth of the (misaligned) medical services tagged to the code rather than a coherent procurement segment. No standardized or repeat solicitation pattern emerges under this code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC designation if pursuing opportunities in occupational health, pharmacy management, disability medical evaluation, or employee benefit services.
