UNSPSC 85704510 Revision of internal fixation device in right patella, external approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the scope of recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical device revision work, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical procedure networks, independent disability medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant revision. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities at source or a drift in how the taxonomy is being applied at the issuing jurisdictions. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent alignment with its stated commodity scope.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level jurisdictions (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city government entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic representation spans Arizona, Florida, Washington, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract value; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026 with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. The diversity of services and geographies across these postings, combined with their disconnect from the code's stated scope, suggests the code may be experiencing miscategorization or that the commodity definition requires clarification to align with actual procurement activity.
