UNSPSC 85704721: Reposition right patella with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right patella with external fixation device, 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 0QSD35Z

UNSPSC 85704721 Reposition right patella with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that the source describes as a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical implants or device placement. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests either misclassification of opportunities or a gap between the UNSPSC taxonomy and current state and local procurement practice in this area.

The six opportunities spanning August through October 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit application review and physician examination coordination. If pursuing opportunities under this code, confirm with the issuing body that the UNSPSC classification reflects the intended procurement scope, as the current tagged opportunities fall outside orthopedic surgical procedure supply.
