UNSPSC 85704281 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure code — and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative and clinical health services broadly: independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from the femur or other orthopedic implant extraction procedures. State and local procurement bodies appear to be using this code as a catch-all category for medical services administration and staffing rather than for a discrete surgical procedure line item.

The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), county health authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), regional transit authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code does not appear suited to vendor pursuit without clarification from issuing bodies about the actual scope of services being contracted.
