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 0QSFXZZ

UNSPSC 85704511 Reposition left patella, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical procedure procurement; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies are diverse — county commissioners offices, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments — but the work being solicited bears no clear connection to the code's stated surgical scope.

Activity appears geographically scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's procurement for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP format, due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award vendor qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a signal of orthopedic surgical procedure procurement at the state and local level; vendors pursuing work in medical evaluations, occupational health, or staffing should not rely on this code for opportunity identification.
