This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right patella with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85704722 Reposition right patella with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procurement activity; instead, they span comprehensive healthcare service delivery including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's clinical title and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is being used inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing procurement offices to classify healthcare contracting broadly rather than specific orthopedic procedures. State and local governments are using this code to solicit ongoing healthcare operations, management services, and professional medical oversight — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a single surgical intervention on a specific anatomical structure.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county employee benefits administration, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, estimated at approximately $95,537.71 monthly; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services covering 2,300 county members; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP (posted February 25, 2026, due October 16, 2025) for a fire department medical director. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated orthopedic surgical purpose and appears to reflect procurement taxonomy misapplication rather than active market demand for the specific procedure it nominally describes.
