UNSPSC 85723269: Replacement of left knee joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left knee joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, 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 0SRD0JA

UNSPSC 85723269 Replacement of left knee joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that shows negligible alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent state and local opportunities, none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or procurement-related medical device supply. Instead, the opportunities reflect solicitations for medical services — independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). The code nominally describes a specific surgical implant procedure, yet state and local governments under this code are not currently buying implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-specific devices; they are contracting for medical administration, staffing coordination, and benefit management services that bear no relation to knee joint replacement.

No recent state and local procurement activity reflects the orthopedic implant scope the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's defined commodity (a surgical implant) and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local opportunity database or a code whose actual procurement volume does not surface in recent public notices. Absent evidence of implant procurement under this code, the category presents limited opportunity for vendors focused on orthopedic device supply or related product lines.
