UNSPSC 85704267 Removal of synthetic substitute from right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the state and local contract activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which represent orthopedic joint-replacement revision procedures or surgical implant removals. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous health services procurement rather than a marker for the specific orthopedic procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies span a broad mix: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employees and retirees (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). No single issuing body appears more than once in the recent block. Geographic activity centers on California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington State (ferries occupational health), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Houston), and Florida (Naples), with no clear concentration. The recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP for public safety disability benefits (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical center-of-excellence carve-out RFP for PPO plan members (due October 7, 2026), and the Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vendor-qualification RFP (due October 7, 2026). The code's activity appears transactional and episodic rather than concentrated or predictable under its stated procedure definition.
