UNSPSC 85703736 "Repair right lower femur, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that nominally references orthopedic surgical procedure codes, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with surgical repair work. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve direct repair of femoral fractures or orthopedic procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity; state and local governments are using this tag to solicit broader medical services and administrative support rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out network administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. The persistent mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical label and the actual services being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in source data or drift in how this code is applied across jurisdictions; pursue opportunities only after confirming that individual RFPs genuinely require the service your firm provides.
