UNSPSC 85704725: Replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left patella with autologous 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 0QRF37Z

UNSPSC 85704725 Replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which align with the code's specific surgical intervention. This mismatch suggests the code is being used inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, or that state and local procurement offices do not routinely tag direct medical procedure procurement at this granular UNSPSC level.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code—posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence for surgical procedures), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing)—suggest that state and local health purchasing is occurring at the benefits program, vendor network, and staffing levels rather than at the level of individual orthopedic procedures. If you are pursuing direct orthopedic surgical-procedure contracting with state and local health plans or public employee benefits programs, monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and health benefits RFPs more closely than this code's recent activity; the code itself is not a reliable signal for this work.
