UNSPSC 85704650 Extirpation of matter from right patella, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal surgical taxonomy does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations show no surgical procurement activity whatsoever; instead, the code captures occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical care contracting for government-employee health plans. This mismatch suggests the code is either mistagged in issuing systems or has drifted from its original clinical scope into broader government health administration and benefits management.

The issuing bodies include county health systems, county human resources and pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out programs within its employee health plan (due October 7, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmaceutical spending (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southwest and West Coast, with no recent opportunities documented in other regions. The code shows substantial recent procurement velocity but limited conceptual coherence with its stated surgical taxonomy.
