UNSPSC 85723201: Replacement of left knee joint, tibial surface with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left knee joint, tibial surface with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SRW0KZ

UNSPSC 85723201 Replacement of left knee joint, tibial surface with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no direct procurement of knee replacement services or implants. Instead, the code appears to be misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing solicitations—independent medical evaluations, occupational surveillance examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs. The issuing bodies include county pension boards, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health consortia, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent opportunities suggests the code is not currently a reliable identifier for state and local procurement of knee replacement procedures or orthopedic implants.

The most recent opportunities show administrative and clinical support services rather than implant procurement or surgical procedures themselves. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services including disability record review and physician examinations, with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling. The City of Long Beach issued RFQ HR26753 on August 26, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management through Centers of Excellence covering knee, hip, and other procedures—a benefits administration role rather than device or implant supply. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across clinical categories. These represent healthcare service delivery and staffing roles, not procurement of orthopedic implants or replacement procedures. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies whether orthopedic implant or surgical procedure procurement is occurring under this code before investing in pursuit strategy.
