UNSPSC 85704640: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right 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 0QPD07Z

UNSPSC 85704640 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code include requests for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of autologous tissue substitutes from the patella or orthopedic implant extraction generally. State and local buyers are not soliciting surgical procedure codes in this taxonomy; they solicit administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code has been applied to capture broad occupational health and medical services delivery rather than the specific operative procedure its name describes. Recent activity shows issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida soliciting medical administration and staffing services through RFPs and RFQs with response dates in October 2026, but none of the opportunities are materially related to the surgical scope this Commodity code nominates. For business development purposes, this code shows little actionable opportunity in its stated form; practitioners should verify that the relevant UNSPSC codes for occupational health services, employee health screening, or medical staffing align with their service lines before pursuing work under this classification.
