UNSPSC 85704744: Insertion of internal fixation device into left patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left 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 0QHF34Z

UNSPSC 85704744 Insertion of internal fixation device into left patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities present in the source data—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to orthopedic surgical implants or procedural coding for patellar fracture repair. The code's title references a specific clinical procedure typically performed in hospital surgical settings and billed under medical or surgical services codes rather than procured as a discrete product or service line by state and local jurisdictions. State and local procurement activity under this code appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than genuine demand for the device or procedure itself.

State and local buyers do not solicit for specific surgical implants or intraoperative devices through RFP, RFQ, or ITB processes in this dataset. Hospital systems and health agencies procure surgical supplies and implants through group purchasing organizations, direct manufacturer relationships, or group purchasing cooperative vehicles—mechanisms that operate outside traditional RFP notice cycles. The code should be considered inactive for state and local business development purposes until evidence of direct procurement activity emerges in notice systems.
