This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85723217, Replacement of right knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical implant procedures. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect direct procurement of knee-joint replacement implants or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the orthopedic implant scope the code name suggests. This mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic device procurement at the state and local level.

The six opportunities in the dataset originate from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The geographic spread is broad across four states, but the activity is fragmented across administrative and medical-service functions rather than concentrated in orthopedic device supply or implant procurement. No repeat buyers appear under this code in the recent-opportunities block, and no opportunities explicitly name knee-joint implants, surgical devices, or orthopedic product supply as the procurement target. Bidders pursuing orthopedic implant business should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing proposal effort, as the taxonomy assignment does not currently reflect active demand for the product category this code nominally describes.
