UNSPSC 85704508: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right patella, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in right patella, external 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 0QWDX7Z

UNSPSC 85704508 (Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right patella, external approach) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve autologous tissue substitutes, patella revision, or operative orthopedic procedures. The code appears to be misapplied across these postings and does not reflect genuine procurement of the procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local buying under this code tag spans health systems, county human resources departments, pension boards, and county probation authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical benefit carve-out program covering Centers of Excellence for multiple specialty procedures, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries system locations, due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026. The code shows no genuine orthopedic implant or surgical procedure procurement activity and is not recommended for pursuit by vendors in autologous tissue substitutes or orthopedic implant markets.
