UNSPSC 85704272: Removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, 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 0QP94JZ

UNSPSC 85704272 Removal of synthetic substitute from left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it. The source records describe occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and other health-administration and employee-benefit contracting. None of these opportunities involve the removal of synthetic material from a femoral shaft or any orthopedic implant extraction. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment between UNSPSC surgical-procedure codes and the health-administration and employee-benefits work that state and local procurement offices actually conduct.

The recent activity does reveal that state and local governments, particularly county health systems and municipal retirement offices, are active procurers in occupational health services, medical evaluation and surveillance, employee health benefits design, and temporary clinical staffing—but these services fall outside the orthopedic-procedure scope the code nominally describes. No recent state or local opportunities directly solicit orthopedic device removal, implant extraction, or orthopedic surgical services themselves. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes in state and local procurement.
