This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right upper femur 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 0Q9600Z

UNSPSC 85703440 Drainage of right upper femur with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the femur; however, the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 soliciting under or near this code span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations name or target the specific orthopedic drainage procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, and Washington. The misalignment between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a data error in the UNSPSC tagging or a fundamental mismatch between the code's definition and how procurement offices are using it. Vendors should verify the actual commodity or service codes under which relevant health care staffing, medical surveillance, and benefits management opportunities are being posted before allocating business development resources.
