UNSPSC 85781222: Repair right femoral region, open 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 0YQ70ZZ

UNSPSC 85781222 Repair right femoral region, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedure classification, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are overwhelmingly administrative, occupational health, and managed-care services—not orthopedic repair surgery itself. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical carve-out benefit program manager for Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for youth in custody; Collier County posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP; and Santa Clara County Health System built a temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic repair or operative intervention at the body-part or procedure level that the code nominally describes.

State and local issuers do not appear to use this code to procure orthopedic surgical services directly. The mismatch between the code's anatomical-procedure scope and the administrative and managed-care services actually tagged under it suggests either misclassification by issuing agencies or that the code is not routinely accessed by state and local procurement offices seeking operative orthopedic care. Vendors pursuing this code would find current procurement momentum concentrated in health-plan administration, occupational medicine, and benefits management—categories orthopedic practices and surgical centers do not typically service.
