UNSPSC 85704805: Revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QWF44Z

UNSPSC 85704805 Revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code do not procure implantable devices or surgical supplies aligned with that description. Instead, the opportunities solicited fall outside the code's stated scope: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool. None of these align with procurement of an orthopedic implant or fixation device.

The mismatch between the code's orthopedic device scope and the medical services and staffing opportunities tagged to it suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not represent active state and local procurement for its intended commodity. State and local governments do procure orthopedic implants and surgical supplies through group purchasing organizations and health system capital equipment budgets, but those activities are not reflected in the recent-opportunities block. The code warrants verification before routing to business development for pursuit in this segment.
