UNSPSC 85704287 Removal of synthetic substitute from right upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently buying. The code title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, medical record summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between code and procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the UNSPSC taxonomy is being applied inconsistently across these jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a mix of general-purpose local governments and specialized health system entities. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (originally due April 9, 2026, now closed). The absence of meaningful alignment between the code title and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is not a useful category for tracking state and local contracting in these service lines.
