UNSPSC 85703713: Replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous tissue 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 0QRC3KZ

UNSPSC 85703713 Replacement of left lower femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure terminology and state and local procurement activity but shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out program administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implant procurement, prosthetic device supply, or surgical implantation services. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and city health systems, but the work being solicited—benefits administration, clinical staffing, and occupational health compliance—does not map to the code's description of a specific surgical procedure and implant.

The geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this code has been assigned to these opportunities in error or through a data classification issue rather than reflecting genuine procurement demand for femoral replacement procedures. A business development professional pursuing orthopedic implant, surgical device, or surgical procedure contracting under this code would find no actionable market signal in these recent opportunities. State and local health systems, counties, and transit authorities do purchase medical devices and surgical services, but they are not doing so under this code's taxonomy at present.
