UNSPSC 85704826: Replacement of right patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0QRD4KZ

UNSPSC 85704826 Replacement of right patella with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a substantial mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the work state and local governments actually buy under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic implant procedures; instead, they reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code shows activity across state departments, counties, cities, health systems, and pension boards, but the solicitations do not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific knee replacement procedure. No recent procurement under this code targets the supply, installation, or clinical performance of patellar implants or related surgical consumables that would logically fall within the code's stated commodity.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the code shows limited authentic alignment with state and local procurement practice under its stated procedure classification. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). The code does not reflect a cohesive procurement category for business development purposes and warrants clarification of the actual UNSPSC classification for the work being solicited.
