UNSPSC 85704846: Insertion of internal fixation device into right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0QHD44Z

UNSPSC 85704846, Insertion of internal fixation device into right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its scope. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—represent healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and medical management contracting, not orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device insertion. The code designation appears to reflect a misclassification or tagging error in the source data rather than actual procurement need.

State and local bodies do actively procure healthcare services, but the recorded opportunities under this code do not involve orthopedic fixation devices, surgical instrumentation, or hospital operating-room supplies. Until state and local procurement offices correctly tag orthopedic device and surgical-procedure contracting under relevant UNSPSC codes—likely within the medical supplies and equipment families—this code will not reliably signal procurement intent for fixation devices or related surgical products.
