UNSPSC 85703715: Replacement of left lower femur with autologous 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 autologous 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 0QRC37Z

UNSPSC 85703715 Replacement of left lower femur with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that state and local government data shows is being used to classify occupational health, employee benefits administration, and third-party medical services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management services, specialty medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's nominal surgical procedure scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and municipal human resources departments (Long Beach). This pattern suggests the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than for the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code definition.

Recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs serving approximately 3,800 employees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with orthopedic surgery; the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope suggests procurement offices are misclassifying health services under this code.
