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 shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for patella repositioning, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures aligned with the code's stated scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical care for youth in custody, surgical benefit carve-out programs through centers of excellence, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve patella fixation devices or related orthopedic implants. The mismatch between the code's clinical description and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding on the part of the issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local governments.

Recent opportunities are scattered across different issuing bodies and geographies without clear concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out proposals HR26753 (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued RFI 071626BNM for specialty and emergency medical services (due September 25, 2026); Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026). These represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing — not medical devices or implants. No repeat buyers appear, and the geographic spread (Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, Florida) reflects isolated, unrelated procurements. The code does not appear to describe work state and local governments are actively buying.
