UNSPSC 85704838: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right 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 0QPD47Z

UNSPSC 85704838 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the patella, yet the recent opportunities posted under it center on occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and inpatient emergency services for detained youth — none of which align with the orthopedic procedure specified in the code's name. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code's taxonomy scope diverges substantially from how state and local procurement offices are currently using it.

No recent state and local opportunities directly solicit removal of autologous tissue from the patella or orthopedic surgical procedures of that specificity. The issuing bodies posting under this code—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—are seeking support services and staffing in medical administration, occupational health, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing rather than surgical implant removal or orthopedic procedure services. This code warrants monitoring for clarification or future opportunities that align with its stated orthopedic scope.
