UNSPSC 85704738: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, 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 0QPD37Z

UNSPSC 85704738 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure — arthroscopic removal of tissue graft from the kneecap — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services align with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization by the issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in how these opportunities were indexed to UNSPSC codes.

The six recent opportunities span state health departments, county human resources and retirement offices, a municipal retirement system, and county health systems across Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. No issuing body appears more than once in the set. Because the opportunities themselves do not match the code's surgical scope, the code does not signal actionable procurement intent for firms that provide orthopedic or arthroscopic services or related implants and tissue substitutes. A business development professional should verify the correct UNSPSC assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
