UNSPSC 85723204: Replacement of left knee joint, tibial surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, 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 synthetic substitute, cemented, 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 0SRW0J9

UNSPSC 85723204 Replacement of left knee joint, tibial surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic implant procedures — does not match the work actually being solicited under this classification in the recent opportunities block. State and local bodies posting solicitations tagged to this code are instead procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical implant supply. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the sourced opportunities or a drift in how the code is being applied by issuing procurement offices.

The recent opportunities that do reference this code come from Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability pension applications in Arizona), City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in Texas), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices, with no single repeat buyer visible. Given the pervasive mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being posted, this code offers no reliable signal for vendors pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical supply opportunities in state and local markets. Pursue alternative codes aligned with medical device procurement, occupational health services, or managed healthcare administration if your firm operates in those markets.
