This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right patella with external 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 0QSD05Z

UNSPSC 85704623 Reposition right patella with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. State and local governments posting under this code are procuring health services administration, staff augmentation, and benefits management rather than specific orthopedic surgical interventions. The issuing bodies include county human resources and health system procurement offices, city retirement boards, and state transportation departments.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). The most recent representative opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch — the opportunities reflect administrative and operational health services procurement rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
