UNSPSC 85703542: Revision of synthetic substitute in left upper femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left upper femur, percutaneous 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 0QW73JZ

UNSPSC 85703542 Revision of synthetic substitute in left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit program design—none of which involve the implantation, revision, or removal of femoral prosthetics or orthopedic devices. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the source material rather than legitimate procurement spanning the code's stated scope.

State and local governments have not posted relevant recent solicitations under this Commodity code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical benefit carve-out program design and network administration; and Collier County and Harris County issued RFPs for pharmacy benefit management and youth detention healthcare services, respectively. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic implant procurement, revision surgery contracting, or related supply-chain or clinical delivery activity that would fall under the code's nominal scope. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing these opportunities, as the current tagging does not reflect the actual services being bought.
