UNSPSC 85704226: Replacement of left upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QR74JZ

UNSPSC 85704226 Replacement of left upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with that narrow clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical delivery. The code shows broad administrative and clinical service solicitation rather than device or implant purchasing. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health authorities (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose health systems. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in a single jurisdiction or region.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record preparation and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry locations for four employee categories; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026, though that deadline has passed as of today's date) managing approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving femoral prosthesis—does not match the administrative healthcare and occupational health services actually being procured. Vendors pursuing work under this code should focus on health services administration, medical evaluation coordination, and benefits management rather than orthopedic device supply or surgical delivery.
