UNSPSC 85704306: Release right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right lower 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 0QNB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704306, Release right lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities flagged under this surgical procedure code—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—do not target orthopedic surgical procedures or implants. State and local solicitations under this code do not reflect procurement of the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management activity that has been tagged with a code that does not match the work being bought.

The mismatch suggests this code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or related devices and supplies. Issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington have posted opportunities under adjacent or broader healthcare service classifications, but none explicitly solicit the release procedure, associated implants, instruments, or specialized surgical services the commodity code identifies. Practitioners pursuing this code should verify with individual state and local procurement offices whether they use this classification for actual orthopedic surgical procurement or whether it remains inactive in their contracting systems.
