UNSPSC 85723219: Replacement of right knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach

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, 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 0SRT0J9

UNSPSC 85723219 Replacement of right knee joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with direct procurement of joint replacement implants or surgical supplies. Instead, the sourced opportunities reflect medical services contracting—disability benefit evaluation, surgical care networks, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing. The code shows little relevant recent activity for traditional orthopedic implant procurement. The issuing bodies in the recent sample span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), city retirement and HR offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and special-purpose health consortiums (Collier County Health Care Consortium). None of these represent typical orthopedic device or implant purchasing patterns.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach, Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (WSDOT). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit assessment), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, covering knee, hip, orthopedic, and other procedures through Centers of Excellence), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural-device scope and the service-delivery nature of these opportunities suggests the code is misapplied in current state and local tagging, limiting utility for vendors focused on orthopedic implant or surgical device supply.
