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 0QWFXJZ

UNSPSC 85704502 Revision of synthetic substitute in left patella, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical specialty carve-out networks. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of patella revision implants or related surgical implant materials that the code's nominal scope suggests.

The mismatch between the code's taxonomy and the actual work being solicited indicates either systematic misclassification in the source data or that this code sees little relevant recent activity. The issuing bodies across the opportunities range from state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), yet none are soliciting orthopedic surgical implants or related products. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for direct product procurement and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
