UNSPSC 85723116: Reposition 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 0SSC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723116 Reposition right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — orthopedic repositioning of the knee joint via open surgical technique — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services or orthopedic procedures. Instead, the sourced solicitations address inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these services involve knee joint repositioning or orthopedic surgery, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the sourcing system or that this code is rarely used for actual orthopedic surgical procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block span county health systems and government procurement offices — Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and Santa Monica Fire Department — but none are procuring orthopedic surgical services. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, and no clear pattern of repeat-buyer activity in orthopedic services. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the health-administration and behavioral-health services actually posted, this code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical procurement.
