UNSPSC 85704617: Resection of left patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of 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 0QTF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85704617, Resection of left patella, open approach (Commodity), shows a mismatch between its surgical-procedure code title and the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical services or procedure-specific medical billing codes; instead, they encompass comprehensive healthcare service management contracts ranging from prison medical and pharmacy administration to virtual primary care platforms and mental health peer support programs. The code appears to be misapplied to general health service procurement rather than the specific surgical procedure its name describes, making it difficult to assess genuine demand for the commodity itself within state and local contracting.

The jurisdictions pursuing opportunities tagged to this code span multiple states and service models. Muscogee County, Georgia (through Columbus Consolidated Government) is soliciting inmate medical and pharmacy services with a May 15, 2026 RFP deadline; Collier County, Florida is seeking pharmacy benefit management services (proposal deadline April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida posted a virtual primary care and urgent care RFP with an April 16, 2026 deadline; San Mateo County, California issued an RFP for mental health peer support services (due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica, California's Fire Department requested proposals for an EMS Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The diversity of service types—prison health systems, county employee PBM, virtual care platforms, behavioral health innovation pilots, and EMS medical direction—indicates that the code classification does not meaningfully reflect the work actually being bought. The geographic spread includes California, Florida, and Georgia, though the fragmented nature of the opportunities and the mismatch between code title and procurement content suggest this code is not reliably used by state and local buyers for orthopedic or surgical commodity procurement.
