UNSPSC 85704814: Supplement right patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QUD4KZ

UNSPSC 85704814 Supplement right patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this designation. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure—implantation of an artificial patella using a minimally invasive approach—yet the opportunities posted under it reflect healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing services rather than surgical supply procurement or orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or a rare and highly specialized procurement category that has generated little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span issuing bodies including a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Ferries via WSDOT), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county health care consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The actual work being bought includes disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards; surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence networks for employee health plans; occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth; pharmacy benefit management administration; and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. Geographic spread is limited to Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no activity visible in the majority of states. Because the posted opportunities do not represent the surgical implant procurement the code nominally describes, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors in orthopedic device supply, surgical implants, or related surgical-hardware distribution.
