UNSPSC 85722819 Revision of spacer in left knee joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it reflect a broad range of health services procurement that does not align closely with the specific procedure named in the code title — including independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. This suggests the code is being used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health services contracting rather than specifically for orthopedic device or surgical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, reflecting national state and local activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 for disability benefit medical record review and physician examination coordination; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for four personnel categories over a two-year term with extension options; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no apparent mismatch between its nominal scope and active procurement intent — rather, the taxonomy appears under-specified or over-applied to encompass health services procurement broadly rather than the orthopedic procedure the code name describes.
