This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right femoral shaft with drainage device, 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 0Q9800Z

UNSPSC 85703436 Drainage of right femoral shaft with drainage device, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the state and local contract opportunities actually being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities reveal that this code is being applied to a diverse mix of occupational health services, pension and disability medical evaluations, healthcare staffing coordination, and pharmacy benefit management rather than to the orthopedic drainage procedure the code name describes. State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county health care consortiums, and municipal procurement divisions—a fragmented set of health-related administrative and clinical buyers rather than surgical service providers.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, requiring examinations by occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's proposal solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, and others) due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a misfiled or overly broad catch-all for medical services procurement rather than a legitimate indicator of orthopedic surgical procedure demand; firms pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC should verify actual scope alignment at the RFP stage rather than assuming the code name matches the work being bought.
