UNSPSC 85704513 Repair left patella, external approach is a Commodity code that reflects orthopedic surgical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with surgical repair services. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which constitute orthopedic surgical repair. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data artifact; the code shows no concrete recent state and local procurement activity for actual patella repair services.

The available opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: Phoenix's pension boards (medical disability evaluation), Long Beach and Collier County (healthcare benefit administration), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation (inpatient specialty care for youth), and Santa Clara County Health System (health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the absence of orthopedic surgical repair solicitations under this code, no representative patella repair opportunities exist to cite. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as currently inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor for corrected coding or future activity.
