UNSPSC 85704455: Destruction of left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0Q5C4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704455 Destruction of left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities in the source material solicited occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out network management for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch indicates the code has been applied to these solicitations either in error or as a catchall category that does not reflect the actual work being bought. State and local governments issuing under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state. The representative solicitations are the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The scope and issuing-body variety suggest the code assignment reflects administrative or system tagging rather than genuine commodity-level alignment.
