UNSPSC 85723212: Replacement of left knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left knee joint, femoral 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 0SRU0JZ

UNSPSC 85723212 Replacement of left knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical implants and procedures, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve medical services, staffing, and benefits administration wholly unrelated to joint replacement surgery or orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare-related services outside its intended scope. The source provides no recent opportunities actually soliciting knee joint replacements, orthopedic implants, or surgical devices from state and local buyers.

The six opportunities in the dataset span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out networks and Centers of Excellence for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations address healthcare administration, staffing, and service contracting rather than medical device procurement. Because the code's nominal scope—orthopedic joint replacement implants—bears no relationship to any of these opportunities, pursue this code only if your firm provides medical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, or temporary clinical staffing services to state and local employers and health systems rather than orthopedic implants or surgical devices.
