UNSPSC 85704832: Removal of synthetic substitute from left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left patella, 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 0QPF4JZ

UNSPSC 85704832 Removal of synthetic substitute from left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nomenclature describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure performed on an individual patient; the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of orthopedic implants or percutaneous endoscopic procedures at the individual-patient level. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a labeling error in the procurement taxonomy as applied to these solicitations.

State and local issuers posting these opportunities span the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability pension medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). The recent opportunities reflect health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, occupational health examinations, and temporary staffing — all administrative or organizational health services rather than direct clinical orthopedic procedures. No recent solicitations under this code actually procure orthopedic surgical interventions or implant removal services.
