UNSPSC 85723270: Replacement of left knee joint with synthetic substitute, cemented, 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, 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 0SRD0J9

UNSPSC 85723270 "Replacement of left knee joint with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the posted opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure and implant, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026—spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—procure healthcare administration, provider networks, claims processing, and workforce services rather than surgical implants or procedures themselves. No state or local issuing body in the recent-opportunities block is soliciting replacement knee joints, surgical implants, or procedure-specific medical devices under this code.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the solicitations were tagged or that this code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand at present. The issuing bodies in the dataset—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara—are acquiring healthcare delivery and administrative services, not orthopedic implants or surgical products. Firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify current solicitation activity through direct state procurement portals and cooperative purchasing vehicles, as the recent-opportunities record shows no relevant RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.
