This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right knee joint with internal fixation device, external 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 0SSCX4Z

UNSPSC 85722860 Reposition right knee joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally refers to orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgery or medical device procurement. Instead, the code appears to be misapplied to broader healthcare service contracting: the most recent opportunities solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county health plan members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. The issuing bodies span county governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments, with no pattern of repeat buyers in the recent window. The scope of work reflected in these opportunities—health plan administration, telehealth platforms, medical management, and clinical oversight—bears no relationship to the code's stated definition of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure with external fixation.

The code shows activity across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), but the opportunities themselves do not align with the code's taxonomy. The Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026, and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP, posted April 9, 2026, with the same due date, represent the two most recent solicitations, but both are healthcare administration and service delivery contracts rather than orthopedic surgery or device procurement. Given the complete mismatch between the code definition and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes under state and local contracting activity.
