UNSPSC 85704709: Revision of external fixation device in right patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right patella, percutaneous 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 0QWD35Z

UNSPSC 85704709 Revision of external fixation device in right patella, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out programs, emergency detention health services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve external fixation device revision or percutaneous orthopedic intervention. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between the code's procedural definition and how state and local procurement offices are tagging health services contracts. The opportunities present do not support a reliable characterization of what state and local governments actually buy under this specific code.

The six opportunities posted since July 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, covering city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county procurement offices. The work being solicited — medical records summarization, occupational surveillance examinations, pharmacy administration, surgical centers of excellence, detained-youth emergency care coordination, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — reflects real procurement volume, but none of it tracks to orthopedic device revision. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive or miscoded for practical pursuit purposes and instead monitor the Family or Class code above it if interested in state and local health services contracting.
