UNSPSC 85703455: Destruction of left lower femur, 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 0Q5C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703455 Destruction of left lower femur, open approach (Commodity) shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a surgical procedure — specifically orthopedic ablation or removal of a left femur — but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code across state and local jurisdictions solicit entirely different services: independent medical evaluation and disability review for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under it suggests either a systematic miscoding error in the source data or a data-quality issue in the procurement system. The opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, RFP for surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI for specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County, RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or operative services. Buyers pursuing this code should verify its accuracy in their procurement system before investing in response development.
