UNSPSC 85703636: Reposition right lower femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right lower 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 0QSB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703636 Reposition right lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code tagged to medical procedures, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities reflect administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical repositioning procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to capture little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy and current procurement practice under this designation.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these align with surgical procedure codes or orthopedic repositioning work. Pursuit of opportunities under this code requires direct inquiry with issuing bodies to confirm whether the UNSPSC designation reflects intended scope or represents a cataloging error in their procurement system.
