UNSPSC 85704633: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, 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 0QPF0KZ

UNSPSC 85704633 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left patella, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving removal of implanted tissue substitute—does not match the solicitations present in the dataset, which span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local government procurement under this code shows no coherent pattern of activity around the procedure named in the code's definition.

The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation scope suggests either a coding error in one or more of the underlying opportunities or a data classification issue upstream. Among the six recent opportunities tagged to this code, only the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out (HR26753, RFP, due October 7, 2026) touches orthopedic procedures at all—but broadly, across knee, hip, shoulder, and spine procedures through Centers of Excellence networks—and does not reference the specific patella procedure or surgical approach named in the code. The issuing bodies span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no concentration in any jurisdiction or service type. The absence of coherent activity directly related to the code's stated scope limits utility for vendors positioning surgical implant removal or orthopedic implant management services.
