UNSPSC 85704618 Resection of right patella, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of surgical intervention itself. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code document state and local government purchasing of occupational health services, medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or patella resection. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Issuing bodies across the opportunities include a state transportation department, county governments, a county health system, a municipal retirement board, and county probation services, indicating broad jurisdictional variation rather than a concentrated buyer base for the procedure itself.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) procuring occupational medical surveillance services; the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) requesting pharmacy benefit management services. The mismatch between the code's procedural designation and the service-oriented opportunities posted under it suggests either a tagging error in source systems or that this code does not represent an active procurement category in state and local markets.
