This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85703729 Replacement of right upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are procuring. The recent opportunities posted under this code represent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty surgical care networks; none involve the procurement of femoral implants or orthopedic surgical supplies that the code's title describes. The mismatch suggests either a systematic data-entry or coding error in the state and local procurement sources, or the code has been repurposed to capture a broader medical-services taxonomy that does not align with UNSPSC's original definition.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources and benefits divisions (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity distributed across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated in a single region or issuing-body type. Because the code's label does not match the work actually being bought, this code should be monitored only if your firm pursues health-plan administration, occupational medicine services, or clinical staffing contracts; it will not surface orthopedic implant or surgical-device opportunities.
