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 0Q873ZZ

UNSPSC 85703949 Division of left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence surgical networks — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. State and local purchasing offices appear to have misapplied this surgical procedure code to administrative healthcare services, medical evaluation coordination, and benefits management contracts rather than to direct surgical delivery or facility-based orthopedic procedure services. The mismatch suggests either data entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended scope and how it is being used in procurement systems.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code reflect a mix of municipal benefits offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments seeking healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, and medical staffing support rather than surgical procedures. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance (RFP due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFP due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Given the procedural nature of the code versus the administrative healthcare services being purchased, this code does not represent a meaningful market segment for vendors pursuing state and local surgical, orthopedic, or facility-based healthcare delivery contracts.
