UNSPSC 85703908 Extirpation of matter from right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting under. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (percutaneous removal of material from the right femoral shaft), but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code reflect medical services procurement, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the specific intervention the code nominally covers. The five opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and pharmacy benefit administration. None entail procurement of the surgical service or implicated procedure this code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices rarely use this code for relevant transactions. The issuing bodies themselves span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal benefits administration (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the opportunities do not support active procurement under this Commodity code for its stated purpose. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains in use for the surgical procedure it describes or represents dormant taxonomy in current state and local procurement practice.
