This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0QSD04Z

UNSPSC 85704624 Reposition right patella with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure label but shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern orthopedic implant devices or surgical repositioning procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying opportunity records or use of this code as a catch-all medical taxonomy marker rather than a true commodity procurement category.

State and local bodies posting under this code include county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement and procurement offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation and health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Santa Clara County Health System), and county health systems. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs with a due date of October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington, with secondary representation from Florida and Texas. This code does not reflect a coherent procurement market for the orthopedic device work its name suggests; vendors targeting procedural, staffing, or benefits-management opportunities in public health and retirement administration would be misled by the commodity label.
