UNSPSC 85704649: Extirpation of matter from left patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0QCF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85704649, Extirpation of matter from left patella, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local solicitations tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the surgical extraction of material from the patella. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic tagging problem at the jurisdiction level.

No state and local opportunities in the source material directly solicit orthopedic surgical services, implants, or related procurement under this code. The recent postings span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County), but they address administrative medical services, health benefits management, and staffing rather than surgical procedure supply or execution. The code does not appear to be an active procurement vector for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in surgical goods or services at this time.
