UNSPSC 85704630: Replacement of right patella with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0QRD07Z

UNSPSC 85704630 Replacement of right patella with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's clinical specification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead span medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve patella replacement surgery or autologous tissue transplantation. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data-alignment issue that renders the code's nominal scope unreliable as a predictor of actual buying activity. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipalities (Long Beach, Collier County), indicating broad jurisdictional fragmentation rather than concentration among repeat buyers under this specific code.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction dominating recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of alignment between the code's surgical-procedure name and the work actually being procured, business development professionals should verify whether this code represents an operational sourcing path or treat it as inactive for clinical procedure procurement.
