UNSPSC 85703777: Removal of synthetic substitute from right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right femoral shaft, 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 0QP83JZ

UNSPSC 85703777 Removal of synthetic substitute from right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its medical procedural title and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removals; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management, the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence, and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. The code appears to be misapplied across these diverse medical administration and workforce health solicitations rather than reflecting actual orthopedic device or procedural work.

The issuing bodies include a state department, county health systems, county benefits administration, city pension boards, and city benefits offices—a fragmented set of healthcare purchasers with no repeat solicitations under this specific code in the recent window. Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination scheduling with responses due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with responses due October 9, 2026; and the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program with responses due October 7, 2026. The code's nominal scope—removal of femoral implants—does not align with any of these solicitations, suggesting either systematic miscoding or downstream taxonomy assignment issues in state and local procurement portals.
