UNSPSC 85703781: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left upper femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left upper 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 0QP73KZ

UNSPSC 85703781 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the surgical intervention named in the code. Instead, the opportunities solicited show no direct activity in tissue-substitute removal or percutaneous orthopedic procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach sought proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence covering multiple procedure types (knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, heart, oncology); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties. None of these opportunities target the specific tissue-substitute removal procedure or align with the code's nominal scope.

The code shows little relevant recent activity and exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its commodity designation—a discrete surgical procedure—and the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations under this code address healthcare administration, benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services provision, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which constitute or require the specific orthopedic surgical service the code names. Business development professionals pursuing orthopedic device, surgical procedure, or tissue-substitute product sales should not rely on this code as a procurement signal; the opportunities present do not translate to demand for the service described.
