UNSPSC 85704309 Release left upper femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The three substantive recent opportunities—independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out management for municipal employee health plans, and occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers—all concern administrative health services, program management, or occupational health delivery rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. A fourth opportunity (specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention) represents acute-care hospital and specialty medicine, and a fifth (pharmacy benefit management) concerns drug program administration. The code shows no posted solicitations for the specific procedure—release of the left upper femur via percutaneous endoscopic approach—that its title names.

The issuing bodies are mixed: municipal retirement boards and human resources departments (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Recent activity is concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (statewide), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities for administrative classification rather than as an accurate descriptor of the work being purchased.
