This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left patella, open 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 0QWF04Z

UNSPSC 85704605, Revision of internal fixation device in left patella, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its orthopedic surgical device scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the source material—spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, detention facility medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent health services administration, occupational health compliance, and temporary clinical staffing procurement, not orthopedic implant purchasing or surgical procedures. None of these solicitations involve procurement of patella fixation devices or related surgical hardware.

The code does not report measurable activity among state and local issuers. A mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure and device—and recent state and local procurement postings suggests either that this code is rarely used by public-sector buyers or that it is being applied inconsistently in the available data set. State and local procurement of medical devices and surgical procedures typically flows through health systems' capital equipment cycles, group purchasing organization (GPO) contracts, or integrated supply-chain agreements with hospital networks rather than through standalone competitive procurements. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the issuing jurisdictions—primary candidates being large urban health systems, county hospitals, and state health departments—maintain active purchasing cycles for orthopedic devices under this or related codes, as recent public records do not surface demand signals.
