UNSPSC 85704290: Removal of internal fixation device from right upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right upper femur, 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 0QP644Z

UNSPSC 85704290 Removal of internal fixation device from right upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care center networks, and inpatient emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile probation departments. The geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (statewide ferries operations), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County).

Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical care center network carve-out covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; the UNSPSC tagging does not reflect the procedural or clinical scope actually being procured, and vendors pursuing these opportunities should expect work centered on healthcare administration, benefit management, and occupational health services rather than orthopedic surgical intervention.
