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 0Q560ZZ

UNSPSC 85703460 Destruction of right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly across multiple jurisdictions or represents a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work being procured. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal health benefits programs.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026, with an effective contract date of January 1, 2026 already passed); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
