UNSPSC 85703459: Destruction of left upper femur, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left upper 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 0Q570ZZ

UNSPSC 85703459 Destruction of left upper femur, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure—the operative destruction of a specific bone—yet recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical center-of-excellence benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities involve the procurement of health services administration, staffing, and benefits management, not surgical procedures themselves. State and local agencies do not buy or commission surgical procedures as line-item commodities under procurement codes; they purchase insurance, benefits administration, staffing, and care coordination services.

No state and local procurement opportunities substantively related to the surgical procedure named in this code appear in the recent activity block. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code carries little relevance for business development targeting state and local health procurement.
