This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0QRF07Z

UNSPSC 85704627 Replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's technical surgical descriptor does not align with the recent solicitations posted under it. The available opportunities reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue replacement. This suggests either mis-coding of opportunities at posting, drift in how the state and local procurement ecosystem applies UNSPSC taxonomy to healthcare services, or data quality issues in the source material.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, issued by city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations on a $750,000 five-year contract; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is seeking a surgical procedure carve-out benefit manager for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes.
