UNSPSC 85704634: Removal of synthetic substitute from left patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0QPF0JZ

UNSPSC 85704634 Removal of synthetic substitute from left patella, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services, not surgical interventions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments—entities that procure medical services for benefits administration, employee health surveillance, and institutional care rather than direct surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no jurisdiction appearing more than once in the posted opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (responses due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevance to orthopedic surgery procurement itself and appears to reflect a classification mismatch in source databases rather than meaningful procurement alignment.
