UNSPSC 85704842: Release right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0QND4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704842 Release right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it do not involve orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary care and urgent care platform services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical director oversight. None of these solicitations involve procurement of release right patella procedures, surgical equipment, or orthopedic services of any kind. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased suggests that this code either has been misapplied by issuing bodies or sits outside active state and local procurement interest in its intended category.

The four representative opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus), and California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), with response dates ranging from April through July 2026. None directly relate to orthopedic surgical procedures or the clinical work implied by the code name. Given the absence of relevant recent activity, this code does not merit pursuit for state and local orthopedic or surgical service delivery unless the misclassification is corrected upstream or the code's administrative mapping is clarified by procurement offices.
