UNSPSC 85703782: Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0QP73JZ

UNSPSC 85703782 Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited—none of the recent postings involve orthopedic surgical procedures or femoral implant removal. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code shows no relevant recent activity for its stated procedure; state and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these health care administration and staffing opportunities with an orthopedic procedure code that does not match their actual scope.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and administrative offices (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (IFB with pre-bid conference), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the code mismatch, firms evaluating this UNSPSC category should treat recent activity as unreliable for targeting or forecasting procurement intent.
