UNSPSC 85704727: Replacement of right patella with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right patella with synthetic 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 0QRD3JZ

UNSPSC 85704727 Replacement of right patella with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic joint replacement, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve procurement of patella implants or orthopedic surgical devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities.

The recent activity under this code reflects municipal and county human resources, benefits administration, and occupational health functions rather than medical device supply or surgical implant procurement. Jurisdictions posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (for Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—a mix of city, county, state transit, and county health entities across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without active opportunities for patella implants or orthopedic surgical devices in the recent-opportunities block, there is no actionable procurement signal under this code for vendors in the medical device or orthopedic surgery supply sector.
