UNSPSC 85703918: Excision of right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right femoral shaft, 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 0QB83ZZ

UNSPSC 85703918 "Excision of right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local governments do not directly procure individual surgical procedures under commodity codes. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative and clinical service procurement — disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit program management, youth detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute the surgical intervention the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns suggests either miscoding in recent solicitations or a taxonomy misalignment that renders this Commodity code non-actionable for business development targeting. No procurement opportunities in the source demonstrate purchasing of femoral shaft excision procedures or related implants, instruments, or surgical supplies. The five opportunities shown — City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-out), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare coordination), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing) — all address healthcare administration, clinical staffing, or benefit program management rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local procurement under this code shows no recent activity consistent with its definition.
