UNSPSC 85703718: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0QRB37Z

UNSPSC 85703718 Replacement of right lower femur with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code are buying occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, surgical care carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which constitute the procedure specified in the code name. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific procedural intervention the code nominates.

The issuing bodies span state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation Washington State Ferries, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent activity has posted in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with geographic spread likely continuing across other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (bidder pre-conference August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026 for a five-year term with contract execution targeted April 1, 2027; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP, originally due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. The code shows no coherent activity in its stated domain and warrants clarification of its intended scope before pursuit.
