UNSPSC 85704841: Release left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0QNF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704841 Release left patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement under this code does not track individual surgical interventions. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader healthcare service contracting—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which map cleanly to a single surgical procedure code. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement source or that the code is being used as a placeholder for healthcare services more broadly rather than for the specific patella release procedure its name implies.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span municipal retirement boards, county governments, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments—a diffuse mix with no standout repeat buyers under this code. Geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County), with activity appearing episodic rather than concentrated. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure name and the healthcare-administration and staffing services actually being procured, the code does not represent a reliable segment for business development targeting.
