UNSPSC 85723206: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0SRV0KZ

UNSPSC 85723206 Replacement of right knee joint, tibial surface with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for orthopedic surgical procedures; recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show no activity directly aligned to the procedure itself. Instead, the code appears in procurement opportunities for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—services ancillary to or supportive of healthcare administration rather than knee replacement surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical technique) and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees minimal direct procurement activity from state and local entities for the procedure it nominally describes.

Recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington reflect health benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and medical services staffing rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program including orthopedic and knee procedures through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including orthopedic services (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No solicitations name specific orthopedic surgical implants, knee replacement volumes, or device procurement for the procedure code itself. The code warrants a watch status pending clarification of whether the tagging reflects a data-entry error or a legitimate signal of demand for knee replacement benefit management or occupational health screening services.
