UNSPSC 85704822: Reposition right patella with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right patella with internal fixation device, 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 0QSD44Z

UNSPSC 85704822 (Reposition right patella with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopedic fixation of the patella using percutaneous endoscopic technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not solicit that service or related surgical implants or devices. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing services. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, and state and local governments are not currently buying patella-fixation procedures or related orthopedic devices under this classification.

The recent opportunities in the dataset span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries occupational medical surveillance), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). None of these solicitations address surgical procedures, orthopedic implants, or device procurement. Given the absence of on-target opportunities, this code does not merit active pursuit at this time; firms in orthopedic surgery, implant manufacturing, or surgical device distribution should verify code assignment accuracy before investing business development effort.
