UNSPSC 85704825: Replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 0QRF47Z

UNSPSC 85704825 Replacement of left patella with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent solicitations tagged to this code do not align with that scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under the code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve the implantation or tissue-replacement procedure the code nominates. This mismatch suggests either misclassification at the issuing-body level or that state and local procurement offices are using the code as a catchall for health services procurement broadly rather than as a surgical-procedure-specific taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span county health systems and municipalities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Washington, with no state appearing more than twice in the small sample. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefit programs with anticipated contract execution by April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 WSF locations due October 9, 2026. The code does not reflect genuine procurement activity aligned to its UNSPSC definition and should be approached with caution pending clarification from issuing bodies on their intent in using it.
