UNSPSC 85703714: Replacement of left lower femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower 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 0QRC3JZ

UNSPSC 85703714 Replacement of left lower femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local activity under the code shows no direct purchasing of femoral replacement implants or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broader administrative and occupational health services portfolio, including independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are health plans and county governments—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—alongside state agencies. The scope spans pre- and post-care coordination for orthopedic and other procedures through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational health compliance and baseline examinations, medical record summarization, and vendor pool development for specialty clinical staffing, reflecting a shift toward managed care, compliance, and workforce administration rather than direct implant procurement or operative delivery.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no single state showing dominant activity in recent months. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking disability-related medical record summaries and examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence management covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 active employees and retirees; and Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring a board-certified occupational medicine physician to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic implant scope; the mismatch between the code designation and actual purchasing activity suggests either a classification error in the procurement system or a deprecated code assignment.
