UNSPSC 85723207: Replacement of right knee joint, tibial surface with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 0SRV0JZ

UNSPSC 85723207 Replacement of right knee joint, tibial surface with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that bears minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitation record. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the medical services state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services involves the implantation or procurement of knee joint prosthetics or orthopedic surgical devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure description and the actual scope of work being bought suggests either a systemic cataloging error in the state and local procurement database or an artifact of how these jurisdictions tag healthcare service contracts. The issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — are soliciting administrative healthcare management, clinical staffing, and occupational health services rather than medical devices or surgical implants. Without recent opportunities that actually procure knee joint replacements or related orthopedic implants, this code shows no actionable market activity for vendors in the surgical device or implantable materials space.
