UNSPSC 85703728: Replacement of right upper femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right upper 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 0QR63KZ

UNSPSC 85703728 Replacement of right upper femur with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—hip replacement using synthetic material through minimally invasive technique—yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve hip replacement procedures, implantable devices, or surgical implantation services. The issuing bodies posting under this code include Arizona municipal pension boards, California cities, Washington state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile justice authorities—a diverse mix spanning retirement administration, employee health benefits, occupational safety compliance, and detention facility medical care. The code appears to reflect a UNSPSC classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand for orthopedic implant procedures at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). No clear concentration emerges, and the lack of coherent scope across these solicitations—ranging from pharmacy administration to youth detention medical services—reinforces that this code is not capturing a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers. Vendors pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical procedure contracts should not rely on this code to identify relevant opportunities; the tagging appears erroneous rather than indicative of active demand for hip replacement services or related orthopedic implant procurement by state and local authorities.
