UNSPSC 85704651: Excision of left patella, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0QBF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85704651 "Excision of left patella, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broader health services contracting — medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing, and medical evaluation services — rather than procurement of a single procedure code or surgical service line. State and local buyers do not appear to be soliciting this specific orthopedic procedure as a defined commodity; the code mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that the UNSPSC taxonomy does not accurately reflect how these jurisdictions are buying health services at this granular level.

The recent opportunities originate from a mixed issuing-body base: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentrated pattern. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with extension options). The code shows no coherent recent procurement signal for the procedure it nominally describes.
