This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0SRC0KZ

UNSPSC 85723272 Replacement of right knee joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or knee replacement surgery itself. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing bodies' level or that this UNSPSC category is not actively used for state and local medical device purchasing in the current market.

The six posted opportunities originate from disparate jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity emerges. The most recent opportunities with clear response dates include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). Given the absence of actual procurement activity related to knee joint replacement implants or orthopedic surgical devices, firms targeting state and local procurement under this code should verify that they are correctly positioned to serve medical services contracting rather than device supply.
