UNSPSC 85703787, Removal of synthetic substitute from right upper femur, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which constitute orthopedic implant removal or procedural surgical services. The disconnect suggests either a systematic coding mismatch in the underlying procurement system or that this code has been applied to procurement notices that do not reflect its intended scope. Issuing bodies tagging opportunities to this code include state health departments and transportation agencies, county human services and health systems, and municipal retirement offices.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance through the Washington State Department of Transportation), California (Long Beach municipal employee benefit carve-outs and Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing), Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office pension disability evaluations), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department youth detention healthcare), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary ancillary clinical staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve orthopedic implant removal, surgical devices, or the procedural scope the code nominates, indicating that the code is not a reliable indicator of current state and local procurement demand.
