UNSPSC 85704750: Excision of 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 0QBD3ZZ

UNSPSC 85704750 Excision of right patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities coded to this specification span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch appears systematic: state and local procurement offices are using this surgical procedure code to tag healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope. As a result, this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal human resources divisions (Long Beach), representing a mix of health benefit administration, employee health screening, and specialized staffing procurement rather than surgical services. Geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to reflect healthcare-adjacent procurement categories rather than surgical procedure lines.
