This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0QHF04Z

UNSPSC 85704646, Insertion of internal fixation device into left patella, open approach, is a Commodity code that sits at odds with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical procedure description does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it. State and local issuing bodies are procuring independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — administrative and clinical workforce services rather than orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a disconnect between the code's intended scope and operational procurement practice in this jurisdiction set.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple states and jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum due October 16, 2026; Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; and Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity but does not represent a coherent commodity family — it appears to capture unrelated administrative and staffing healthcare services under a misapplied surgical-device taxonomy.
