UNSPSC 85704229 Replacement of right upper femur with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with the work actually being procured under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic prosthetic procedures or surgical implants. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure and implant) does not match the healthcare administrative, staffing, and benefit management services state and local agencies are actively buying. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is used for a different purpose than its name indicates.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' solicitation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations statewide (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services request covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP, due April 9, 2026, now closed). No recent opportunities under this code involve the procurement of prosthetic implants or surgical devices themselves.
