UNSPSC 85722917: Removal of infusion device from left knee joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left knee joint, 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 0SPDX3Z

UNSPSC 85722917 Removal of infusion device from left knee joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this taxonomy assignment. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic device removal or infusion therapy procedures. The code name suggests surgical intervention at a specific anatomical site, but the solicitations show state and local buyers instead purchasing administrative medical services, benefit management platforms, occupational health compliance programs, and clinical staffing solutions that fall outside orthopedic implant or device management.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (258414, due April 9, 2026). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic device scope and the actual medical services, benefits administration, and occupational health compliance being solicited suggests the code has limited relevance to current state and local procurement activity.
