UNSPSC 85704652 Excision of right patella, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span medical evaluation services, health plan benefit design, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve patella excision or procedure-specific surgical intervention. State and local agencies do not procure surgical procedures themselves through UNSPSC codes; they contract with health systems, provider networks, staffing vendors, and benefits administrators who deliver or coordinate care. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Recent opportunities under this code reflect health system administration and workforce support rather than surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation contracted occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, municipalities, and independent school or pension districts primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.
