UNSPSC 85703905: Extirpation of matter from left lower femur, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lower 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 0QCC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703905 Extirpation of matter from left lower femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities in the source material. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of tissue or foreign matter from the left femur using a minimally invasive approach — yet the most recent solicitations posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these procurements involve orthopedic or femoral surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-collection artifact; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural definition.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but these solicitations do not reflect procurement demand for the specific procedure named in the code. Without evidence of state and local governments actively soliciting femoral extraction procedures under this code, the category does not present a clear business development opportunity aligned with its UNSPSC definition.
