UNSPSC 85704723: Replacement of left patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QRF3KZ

UNSPSC 85704723 Replacement of left patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual state and local contract activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or patella replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for medical service administration rather than as a device or procedure specification. No state or local procurement activity reflects the specific orthopedic implant or surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), county government (Collier County, Harris County), city government (Phoenix, Long Beach), all posting RFPs or RFIs with response dates between late September and mid-October 2026. Geographic spread covers California, Texas, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope does not correspond to the opportunities actually tagged under it, no decision-relevant purchasing signal exists for firms pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical procedure work at the state and local level.
