UNSPSC 85704405 Extirpation of matter from left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relation to the medical, administrative, and occupational health services that state and local bodies are currently buying under this classification.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits and centers of excellence, occupational medical surveillance for state employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city procurement on behalf of employee health programs (Long Beach), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County, California). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No pattern of repeated or concentrated buying activity emerges from these records. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic procedure nominally described; the mismatch suggests a classification error in the underlying procurement database rather than a live market for the specific service the code names.
