UNSPSC 85703579: Supplement right upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right upper femur 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 0QU63JZ

UNSPSC 85703579 (Supplement right upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities in the recent-opportunities block are tagged to this orthopedic-procedure code but are actually soliciting independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix), surgical-network carve-outs for employee benefits (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), youth detention healthcare (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County). None of these opportunities involve procurement, implantation, or supply of femoral prosthetics or orthopedic devices. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic implant devices for surgical use—does not align with what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under this tag in the marketplace today.

State and local procurement under this code, as currently tagged in available opportunity records, is fragmented across multiple unrelated healthcare administration and staffing services rather than consolidated around orthopedic device supply. The mismatch suggests either systematic mistagging in the source data or that the code has minimal direct relevance to current state and local buying patterns. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope of work and true UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code or consider whether the code itself is a reliable indicator of procurement intent in this commodity family.
