UNSPSC 85704816: Supplement right patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right patella with autologous 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 0QUD47Z

UNSPSC 85704816 Supplement right patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic implant or tissue-supplement procurement. Instead, the opportunities show state and local government purchases of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care network programs — administrative and clinical staffing services rather than surgical devices or tissue products. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the underlying procurement database, as none of the recent solicitations concern implantable orthopedic materials or surgical procedure supplies. State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include a county retirement board (City of Phoenix), a municipal human resources department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county probation department (Harris County), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, reflecting fragmented regional activity rather than concentration in a single jurisdiction or state.

The representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between code and actual procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, and deck crew across 14 Washington locations, with performance by occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians — a staffing and clinical-service acquisition unrelated to orthopedic implants. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent disability medical evaluation and record-summary services supporting approximately 75 annual pension-benefit applications, again a staffing and administrative service. The Santa Clara County Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories including audiology, radiology, surgical services, and therapy. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited, pursuit of opportunities under this code classification presents a poor fit for vendors in orthopedic devices, implant materials, or surgical supplies.
