UNSPSC 85704621: Reposition left patella with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left patella with internal fixation device, 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 0QSF04Z

UNSPSC 85704621 Reposition left patella with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code document county and municipal purchasing for jail inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management (PBM) administration for employee health plans, virtual primary care and urgent care services for county health plans, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The code's nominal scope (repositioning a patella with internal fixation in an operating theater) describes a single surgical intervention, whereas the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare administration, benefit management, and primary care delivery at the population level.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county procurement divisions (Collier County, Monroe County, and Muscogee County), a consolidated city government (Columbus Consolidated Government), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), representing a mix of general-purpose counties, specialized health departments, and city agencies. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), with additional activity in Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the actual health administration and benefit management work being procured suggests either a tagging error or that this code is not actively used for state and local purchasing.
