This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee joint with synthetic 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 0SRC0JZ

UNSPSC 85723273 "Replacement of right knee joint with synthetic substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code procure occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which involve orthopedic implants or surgical procedures on individual patients. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, but the recent opportunities show issuing bodies instead purchasing administrative medical services (record review, examination scheduling, surveillance compliance), benefits management, and staffing solutions to support employee health programs. This mismatch indicates either systemic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or that the code has been repurposed in practice to tag broader health administration contracts.

The issuing bodies include counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) to summarize disability records and schedule physician examinations for pension board determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity is scattered across multiple states with no clear geographic concentration, and the fundamental mismatch between the code's title and the actual scope of solicitations suggests this code carries minimal relevance for vendors pursuing state and local orthopedic implant or surgical services.
