UNSPSC 85723032: Revision of internal fixation device in right knee joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right knee joint, open 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 0SWC04Z

UNSPSC 85723032 Revision of internal fixation device in right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical implants and revision procedures; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with device procurement or surgical implant supply. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the supply, revision, or installation of knee joint fixation devices.

The mismatch between the code's scope and actual buying activity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this code is not actively used for orthopedic device procurement in the jurisdictions represented. No recent state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB explicitly solicits internal fixation devices, knee revision components, or related surgical hardware. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant contracts with state and local bodies should monitor higher-level UNSPSC codes covering surgical supplies and medical device procurement directly rather than rely on this specific commodity classification for sourcing opportunities.
