UNSPSC 85704737 Removal of synthetic substitute from right patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The code appears to tag occupational health surveillance, medical record review and disability evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which describe a surgical knee procedure. State and local buyers posting under this code are city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and county benefits consortiums. The work being solicited ranges from independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability claims to occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers to specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal employee health plans. The code's actual purchasing pattern does not reflect orthopedic implant removal or surgical procedures; instead, it reflects administrative medical evaluation, occupational health screening, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing procurement.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years.
