UNSPSC 85703762: Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left lower femur, 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 0QPC3JZ

UNSPSC 85703762 Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent solicitation activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to that surgical service. The opportunities instead span independent medical evaluation administration, employee health benefit plan management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the removal of orthopedic implants or percutaneous surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all classification for health services procurement that does not fit its intended scope.

No meaningful procurement activity aligned with the code's actual commodity definition appears in the source material. State and local governments are not currently soliciting orthopedic surgical implant removal services under this code. The issuing bodies involved in the tagged opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are all pursuing administrative health services, benefit plan services, and staffing rather than surgical procedures. Bidders pursuing this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the customer organization before investing in bid development.
