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 0QN63ZZ

UNSPSC 85703810 Release right upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with procurement of that clinical service. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health services contracting — independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical procedure networks through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical care for youth in custody. The code appears to be misapplied or used as a catch-all for health services procurement that falls outside traditional clinical procedure procurement; state and local buyers are not sourcing orthopedic release procedures directly under this code.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and quasi-municipal transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (total contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests caution: this code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or devices as typically understood.
