UNSPSC 85703573: Supplement right femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, 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 0QU83JZ

UNSPSC 85703573 Supplement right femoral shaft with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure — implantation of a femoral shaft prosthesis — but the recent opportunities posted under this code are purchasing medical services, staffing, and benefits administration unrelated to orthopedic implants or surgical devices. The mismatch suggests a systematic tagging error in the source data rather than genuine state and local procurement of orthopedic prosthetics or implant-related supplies under this code.

The six recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing pool qualifications — none of which involve orthopedic implants, prosthetics, or the surgical procedure named in the code. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No recent state and local procurement activity supports actual purchasing under UNSPSC 85703573 as a medical device or implant category; this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical device sales.
